David, thanks for that information - it helps to put things in perspective. The cold spell we have had here in the UK has been given overkill in the media, and has even led to panic buying of essentials in shops in some areas. Yet, it is actually pretty much how winters were in the 1950s and 60s when I was a child and how it often is in the north of Scotland.
This recent weather must be one of the reasons campaigners over here now refer to Climate Change not Global Warming!
