AlanTH:
I got married that year.... nuff said about that. :)
The snow drifts off the airport were so deep up the top of the Rochester Maidstone Rd you couldn't see over them from the upper deck of a bus. Brrrr. Makes me shiver to think about it.

Smiffy:

This may bring back some chilly memories if you were around at the time...

I was working on the big cantilever 250 ton crane, on the north of basin 1 opposite Upnor Castle,
when we watched the last six feet of the River Medway, freeze right over. We were about 140 feet high up, so we had a good view of it. ------ it was quite a sight. ------ Snow for 3 months, then.
                                  Boxing day at 2-00pm to March ---- nothing but SNOW.
