4" the ice is thicker in my fridge ,1963 was very exiting for a ten year old .

Lots of mad sledging on masons hill (it had a path running horizontaly across it so you took off before continuing the slope)

And a group of us from different streets rolled a ball so big in the end we couldnt move it ,the snow melted the ball remained and a bloke from the council broke it up with a jack hammer as blocked a third of the road.

Sea froze at folkestone

Warm here i expect its the same down south in cory town

4 “ is naff all barely enough for the  sledge .8 years ago it was as high a the back window overlooking the cow field and lasted 7 weeks .81 was a bad winter the road to work the snow was piled  up 10ft  high at the side of the road incredible like driving through a tunnel over the moors .This  time it’s the chill factor which will be bad seen sea water freezing and steaming with cold and ice forming on the rig legs as the sea water drops away ,chill factor taking your breath away -40  ,  unbearable cold and we actually worked in it incredible when I think back .But as they say your bullet  proof when your young .

Just think when it’s a hard frost down south it’s like an artic  winter , looks like the roads will gridlocked in Surrey with a dusting.Stock up on stores they have give it for at least a week going to hit those southern softies hard .

It's down to highways England or whatever they are called this week for anything A and above and the council for the rest, if everyone is up north cleaning up your snow there's less down here.

The hogs back gets closed in realy bad days but generally down on the bottom roads its pretty clear ,village main roads are cleared if enough people complain the rest ignored

I used my honda 90 far more in the snow than my volvo it was designed in a cold place but we cant use studded tyres here so its arse is (was) out every bend!

Cant wait its far easier to keep warm that it is cool and i love it cool ,20c is my upper comfort limit

Most of them I worked with were soft as washing but there is always an odd exception .
