I was living not far from you up on the top of Wenlock Edge at that time. It'd been cold the day before and I remember the cold rain falling after it'd got dark and noticing it seemed a bit weird. Didn't know what was happening till the morning when everywhere had been varnished in about 5mm of clear ice. Never seen the same before or since. Couldn't walk safely and the car stayed put for a day or two as everywhere was this sheet of thick solid ice.
Thanks for telling me when that was. I didn't know the precise year, let alone month or date.
