The final shot, with so much inbuilt electronics sends a shudder down my spine...
Blimey, London must be in chaos after a blizzard like that. Perhaps Boris can start a disaster fund for you!
North v South banter aside, glad you got a snow day and I like the photos too.
Best place for snow is on Christmas cards
Snow in London! Shock! Horror! Where's my therapist when you need one.
Where I live, we get heavier hoar frost
Nah no need we are all locked down anyway.
Of course! I wondered what was different this time, usually if more than 3 flakes fall on London then everything stops and it's national news headlines!
Ah... the 'forgotten' harsh winter of 1981/82. This never seems to get a mention on TV programmes about the worst winters, etc. That winter still holds the record for the lowest temperature ever recorded in England (-26.1) and we had lots of snow too.I find it weird that people wave their hands about snow in London now - it used to be normal in the suburbs, with drifts sometimes several feet deep. The first winter we were married (1981) we would wander round Grange Woods in Upper Norwood, jumping and falling into the deep areas. Heavy snow by present standards was normal, and it would be around for a couple of weeks.

The 81/82 winter was small beer when you compared it with the one in '47/48. I just remember it, We had no reliable running water for weeks, the mains were all frozen. There was a coal ration because just after the war most of the mined coal was diverted for industry. The house could not be properly heated. I was sent off to live with my grandparents. Grandad was a coal miner and he still got his free ton and a half every three weeks.
Even the 62/63 winter was hard and that was my 1st year working, The snow first fell on the 2nd of November and the roads were not cleared until early May.
