"In the first weeks of February, travellers were stranded, and
thousands of schools closed as Britain suffered its worst snowfalls in
18 years. This film documents that extraordinary week and the fallout
from the storm, exploring the possible factors behind the freak
weather. People battled to get to work. Some took eight hours using
skis and sledges while others made the most of their wintry day off.
Britain was turned into a fun, white wonderland by this sudden change
in conditions - but with more than just a few broken bones as a
result."


Oh dear!


I must have dozed off that week, did I miss something ?


I think it must have snowed in London.



I see the TV promo for the programme now talks about "the coldest
winter for 18 years."
