[QUOTE="holwellcourtfarm, post: 3346406, member: 42914"] Winter 82 was the one I remember here. It didn't rise above -5 for 2 weeks. By the end of that our cattle troughs were just solid ice blocks and we were having to bucket water to 200 cattle each day (after thawing the house out as the water main used to enter from adjacent buildings through the roof space :banghead:) The RAF were airlifting fed to isolated sheep farms in Kent to keep stock alive. It happens so rarely here that nobody had the kit for it. I heard a radio discussion a few years ago when snow caused road chaos and airport closures down here that Helsinki airport had only been closed to aircraft for 20 minutes since it opened 40 years ago. They had snow falling so fast the runway was unsafe again before their fleet of clearance vehicles were safely off it! [/QUOTE]
