The Blizzard of January 1881 (17–20 January 1881) was one of the most severe blizzards ever to hit the southern parts of the United Kingdom. On 17 January 1881, a low pressure system rapidly developed in the English Channel. The snowfalls began on the 17th in the southwest and as the system deepened as it moved through the Channel, a gale force easterly developed over southern parts with heavy blizzards and drifting snow. The blizzard paralysed all transport, communication, trade and industries. Hundreds of miles of rail track were blocked by drifting snow, dozens of feet high in places. Even in central London, there were 3 foot drifts in places. Around 100 people are believed to have died as a result of the blizzard. The storm was accompanied by extreme cold.

| - Januarisnöstormen i Storbritannien 1881 (17–18 januari 1881) var en av de strängaste snöstormarna någonsin i Storbritannien. Den 18 januari 1881 drog ett lågtryck fram över Engelska kanalen. Snöfallen började den 17 januari 1881 i sydväst, och då spred sig snart även i söder. Transporter och kommunikationer lamslog, liksom handel och företag. Järnvägsspåren blockerades av snö, på vissa håll över tio fot höga drivor. I centrala London uppmättes 3 fot snö på sina håll. Cirka 100 personer antas ha omkommit. (sv)
