I have had to close the business for the morning, the forecourt is like a skating rink, and the strong wind is making twice as difficult, stay safe People

I remember 1981/82 (that's one winter, Horse, not more than one ;-)) and it was very cold and rather snowy, but I don't recall everything grinding to a halt, so perhaps it wasn't as bad, maybe slightly less severe conditions, but for longer. I do remember a trip on the train in a Mark 1 coach without any heating - not something I'd want to do again in a hurry!

Winters in the 70s were no picnic either, I remember the Daily Mail running a scare series saying that we were heading towards a new ice age. Something like the weather stories you get in the Express/Star nowadays!
Then there was the winter of 62/63... I remember my dad building a tobbogan for me and my brother!
