Lots of comparisons being made right now with the big freeze of 1963. My Dad took this video on the Darland Banks near Gillingham in Kent and everyone had fun. Many people just tobogganed on trays from the Flying Saucer Pub . It started snowing close to midnight on New Years eve (possibly Christmas Day) 1962 and didn't melt until March. Filming stopped when the clockwork camera froze up. The farmer took the fence down after he was pelted with snowballs :-)
