Default BBC News - How different is the winter of 2010 from 1963?

That winter, the snow started on Boxing Day 1962 and the big freeze
lasted until March 1963.

Blizzards caused snowdrifts up to six metres deep, telephone lines
were brought down and temperatures fell so low the sea froze over.

But with thousands of schools remaining shut, travel problems
continuing and power cuts affecting thousands of homes, how different
is it in 2010?

Very different. I remember 62/63 - we just got on with our lives ....

2010 seems to be bringing this country to a halt :-(

Getting crazier and crazier - this wonderful country of ours ....
