Ice on the inside of the windows - no thanks.

Ah the excitement of waking up and realising from the quality of
light that it had snowed. Then sucking an old penny sticking it on
the window to thaw a spyhole through the frosting to see how much
snow there was.

Anyway the room wasn't below freezing, thick curtains took care of
that and a couple of thick wool blankets and eiderdown meant the bed
was toasty.

Modern day wuzzies, pah...
