No offence taken. I live on a one way street and it drives me mad when people drive up it the wrong way, especially in this weather.

Yep, no central heating in those days. As much ice on the inside of the windows as outside.
My second son was born in February 1979. He was due to be born in the Netherlands, but work was finished earlier than planned so we returned to the UK in mid December. Just as well. We lived on a farm in the middle of nowhere in the Netherlands and they has snow up to the top of the cow sheds. There was no way the midwife could have got to me, or me to her. Our landlord, the farmer said he could have delivered our son though, as he had delivered so many calves.
It is still snowing here, and still -7. Thaw due at the weekend thank goodness, though it comes with rain, which will be nasty on frozen ground.

Ah 1963. I remember it well. Well sort of, anyway (I was 6).
I do remember we went to school regardless, as did my kids in 1982 when we had a heap of snow. We lived on a hill outside Wantage and couldn't get into town the first two days, but a neighbour with his Landrover did the shopping for half the estate. Three teachers lived nearby and walked to school to open it for the kids. They may not have learned much those couple of days, but it stopped them and us going stir crazy.
We've had a few cold winters here since we moved here, and I don't mind cold - just get rid of the snow.
Apparently the last time it was so cold so early was in 18something, when it turned into a really long cold winter.
Let's hope the Gulf stream returns to it's normal route quickly and does away with that prospect.

We have mixture of fine snow/freezing rain. Messy.
Still -7 today, but not so windy so it doesn't feel quite so bad.

Just dropped the car off the to the garage, its proper proper spewing out oil
Think its gonna be costly
So football isn't coming home, it's off to Russia and then Qatar. Money and corruption talk.
I don't mind, having seen all the things FIFA demand and expect, it will save the taxpayers a fortune.
