Yes

I have vivid memories of that. I lived somewhere that gets colder in winter than where I live now. Where I live now is too near sea level so it never gets quite that cold.
Its funny you should ask as I was just thinking about this the other day
I grew up in Yorkshire where it was a bit hilly and it got alot colder there. I didn't mind so much as we had snow and that was fun.
You are not an odd bod...I remember it well and thanks for reminding me of that fun element of winter
