Yes, this sucks. No fun whatever now, and we’ve got a few more days to go it seems.

I read something about the big freeze in 1962/63  – it didn’t thaw until March! Here’s some more info:

• Wikipedia Page
• A film on YouTube
• A page on the BBC

Of course, in those days they didn’t have:

• Cars with funky electronics to stop us sliding around so much
• The Internet (imagine how isolated you’d feel now without it?)
• Multi-channel TV to keep us sane
• The Wii, to keep us fit

And now I shall go back to work, counting my lucky stars…
