I know what you mean. I remember vividly January 87 on top of the North Downs (Wrotham Hill) and february 91 in the same place, just superb for a cold weather fan (in fact it's those winters that got me hooked). After 15 years or so of mild and damp winters with 1 day snow events (from falling to melting) this year is a revelation and maybe a sign of times ahead? Here's hoping!!! Edit to say that i posted this before the thread was locked and that's why it looks so mental.
