The winter of 1963 was unlike anything Britain had faced in living memory.

For three endless months, the nation froze solid — roads vanished, rivers turned to ice, and life slowed to a crawl.

If you remember those months, share your memories below — and let’s see how your town survived the Big Freeze of ’63.
