RE: Prompt Of The Day “The Big Freeze” - What Remained Beneath The Ice!
Thanks for the delivery 💪
Do you remember was that the 1996 year? We haven’t had a year like that here since! My father always talked about his childhood and always having 3+ feet of snow as normal, wish I had more winters like that to remember! Sledding off the roof would have been an interesting experience 😅

It was actually in Dec 1981/Jan 1982. I remember the paths in the city centre were so frozen that the army had to be called out to clear them.
Yea my father told me once just a few years before I was born was the biggest fall he has ever seen, would have been an experience to see the army out clearing roads 😅
