Icy memories
RE, THAT’S PROPER SNOW: Glittering glimpse at some of East Lancashire’s whitest winters That would be the winter when my mum took me and my two older brothers to Windermere and the ice was so thick you could walk across it.
Parts of the lake were roped off where the ice had not frozen.
Ten years later I swam across Windermere, in summer, and in parts there was really warm water, and then I realised it would be underground hot water geysers.
After all the Lake District is a volcanic region.
