I can't remember it being so bad we couldn't go out. Transport has stopped but we were still able to drive to my daughter's to have snowball fights and build snowmen. |

I am quite isolated. My kitchen has a fridge freezer as well as a fitted freezer. We keep it stocked up. When we get snowed in, I have more time to come on fab and arrange meets when we can get out. .......  |

"Been a while since that happened! Doubt we'll ever see that in the Midlands! "
It happens in Lincolnshire, it's not as flat as everyone thinks 
Lat time it happened for me was 2010 and we kept by the fire a lot. |

I used to live in a village where the nearest shop was a 15 min walk away normally, when it snowed a lot, driving wasn't an option as I lived on a rather steep hill and had bendy driveway on an incline up to ma garage.
Now I live a 5 min walk away from the city centre and because it's warmer here than out in the sticks the snow is never as bad |

I've been snowed in - it's tougher if you're rural. Expect snow and hassle, so that when it comes, it's no big surprise.
I think global warming will bring greater frequency of extreme weather for us in the UK. This may be a milder place overall but will likely include snowing and harsh cold sometimes. |

I've been to Canada over Christmas, on the ski slopes it gets down to about -50 by the time you factor in the wind chill you could probably drop another 10 degrees |
