I remember both,. 1962 wasn; that cold, it just wen on and on.
1982..yeah. I had a porch, with a radiator, that I didn't use in winter. It froze!that was on the Fens with -15c and a 30mph wind. They SAID the chill factor was -45C..
I managed to actually patch it with car body filler enough to be able to run the rest of the system..
