Anyone with some willing to share, would they be willing to post them to
news:alt.binaries.pictures.weather for all of us to share... it's not the
busiest of ng's....

I'm sure my dad's got some which I'll scan & post... I was only 3 but
remember him coming home from work & scraping the snow off the wooden
conservatory roof so that the weight didn't collapse it !!


here in South Cumbria we had very little snow but it froze solid and we were
carrying water to cattle in churns filled from a standpipe at the top of the
drive.
There was frozen sea water ice lying on the beach and I can remember we did
get up to Tarn Howes because that froze solid as well.

One advantage of snow is that it acts as an insulator and helps protect the
water pipes
