Yup, sure do.
Here in Wirral we are protected from rain and sbow by the mountains in Wales and the Pennines. As a result we seldom get very severe weather here.
However I do remember that back then the fields near me were covered in snow. I was walking across one of these fields and suddenly fell in right up to my head where the snow had drifted across a ditch! The ponds were also frozen solid and we were able to walk with impunity on them.
On the downside, the trains carrying my comics from London were unable to get through and I had to do without them for, it seemed, weeks and weeks!
