Now you mention it, I remember the same thing in the bad winter of the 60s.
Thanks!

I remember it happening every winter when I was a kid.

Ah, that would have been in the last Ice Age.

It was in the north of England.

As I said, it used to happen almost every year in Cambridge, up until
about a decade back. It doesn't need a very cold night.

You believe that the foot of the great glacier is just north of
Watford. :-)

When some posters to this group started gardening, it was :-)

But it retreated back up the Great North Road and Ermine Street, leaving
a terminal moraine on which I now live and garden. A nice mix of blue
clay, gravel, sandy soil and nice topsoil, all in unexpected depths and
locations.

I rediscovered this when complaining about a plum tree that had died.
When I told them where I lived they said 'oh, terminal moraine' as if it
was some awful disease that killed everything.
