Britain's Coldest Day Ever - 1987

January 12th, 1987 wasn’t just cold — it was unreal. Minus 9 degrees at lunchtime. Not overnight. Not at dawn. Midday, with the sun still shining. The coldest daytime temperature Britain had recorded in more than 200 years. The Big Freeze of 1987 brought the country to a halt. Big Ben froze solid and stopped. The sea at Southend turned to ice. Commuters who left work at 5 p.m. didn’t make it home until sunrise. For two relentless weeks, Siberian air locked Britain in its grip. Roads vanished beneath snow. Pipes burst. Trains froze to the rails. This is the story of Britain’s coldest day ever — the winter that froze a nation, and the people who endured it.
