I think it's going to go down as a special winter I can remember the last time I enjoyed snow that covered the ground non-stop for 2 weeks I was 13 so a long time ago, not talking about the entire UK just where I lived at the time, sure we had snowy winters but 2 weeks of good solid cover, no.
We've had lakes frozen solid round here for a month, Holt country park was frozen up so thick you could walk across it (I did verrrrry carefully) even after the snow was long gone it was still frozen solid truly amazing.
The best part is it's the first "real" winter my little boy will remember (3) his brother is still too young to remember this one probably (18 months) so here's to more like this, maybe it's a trend in our winters, only a 8 months to go to find out
