2010 was different gravy. I didn’t WFH back then and remember driving my normal commute where the temp didn’t get higher than -10 most mornings.
I remember it being -17 in Carrickfergus and having to buy a lighter to melt the office padlock.
Remember the foyle being frozen over and trudging through a foot of snow to get anywhere. Proper Baltic back then.
But in 2010 I was home from uni and my parents paid for the heating 😭
I was out building snowmen in the back garden not knowing just how good life was
We’re not lost stop gettin cunty.
I lived through 1947 when we ate our ration cards. Ye know nathin.
Great times. My rented house had the boiler in the yard, completely uninsulated. Pipes froze while I was home for Christmas and the gas ran out. Had no water for over a week, no heating until February.
Good time to be a plumber though I imagine.
My flight home from uni got cancelled in 2010. I thought it was bad there, and then I eventually got home a few days later to see that it was worse!
I remember Bangor Marina freezing over that year.
I remember dec 2010… Water pipe burst and brought bedroom ceiling in. It was feckin Baltic!
Fuck remember 2010? Our heating broke in our flat. Single glazed, ancient boiler. Landlord was a rackrenting english bastard who hadn’t set foot in Belfast in decades. Near froze to death. I can remember piling rugs and towels on top of my bed to try to stay warm at night, was horrendeous.
The amount of times in the last week I have uttered the words “The Big Snow of 2010” has reminded me I truly am turning into my mother.
-10 degrees but I was still sent out to collect snow to be melted because our pipes froze and needed water for the cisterns.
I was working in Waterstones and had to be in for the delivery at 6am. It was minus 15 most mornings.

The cold snap will be gone by Sunday.

Going to a school on a hill was fun in 2010.
