Don't blink you might miss it.
I'll tell you how mild it's been, there's been reports from around the
country, that squirrels have been seen selling their surplus nuts at car
boot sales. Hibernating animals are concerned that they'll be knackered come
spring/summer due to lack of sleep.

Anyhow over on TWO someone kindly posted this link to a fascinating British
Transport film clip over on youtube

It's called "Snow Drift at Bleath Gill which is up in what used to be called
Westmoreland, filmed 1955. Blimey that looks cold in fact although only 52
years ago it could be another world, how things have changed.
