I remember that winter all too well. But it was the first winter I had
in the UK (other than when too young to remember) so had no idea it was
exceptional.

I was on the west coast of Scotland and, despite knowing how bad it was
just a tiny bit inland, we had very little snow. At Christmas, we went
to Sunderland and Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and by golly it was cold with
severe snow and ice.

I was in Newcastle at the time and even though from the north east I
would say it wasn't just cold it was ****ing cold.
