Скачать или смотреть When Britain Froze Solid | The Relentless Winter That Stopped a Nation

December 1962 to March 1963. Britain experienced its coldest winter since 1740—a three-month deep freeze that turned the entire nation into an ice prison.Temperatures plunged below -20°C across Scotland. The River Thames froze over in London. The sea itself froze along coastal areas, with blocks of ice floating in harbours. Snow fell every single day somewhere in Britain between Boxing Day 1962 and March 1963—the longest continuous period of snow cover in modern history.
Villages were buried under snowdrifts up to 20 feet deep. Roads remained impassable for weeks.
Snowplow crews worked around the clock using steam locomotives, military vehicles, and primitive road gritters to keep vital supply routes open. But nature was relentless. This was Britain's Big Freeze—when an entire generation learned what true winter really meant.
