Katie, Mac was right, I would have loved to post on this thread.... and I would have put the snowy pic up! :-)
We actually went BECAUSE the snow was forecast, not despite of it! It was meant as a one off "just to see what it was like", but we'd definitely do it again. In fact, I'd wager we'll be disappointed to miss out this coming winter. That pic was this last February, btw, if memory serves.
As more of a tempter for you, this was last October....



And better still, this was the first weekend last December...


Note the shadows.... you know what that means!!


Admittedly, we use a fan heater approx Oct to March, and we have These bad boys to sleep in, which are a bulky pack size, but if you have the room!!!

Another thing we like to do, although not essential, is go somewhere like Beech Croft, which have a shower block to die for.... spacious, spotless, modern, constant hot water.... oh yeah, and the small matter of underfloor heating.
Went 3 or 4 times last winter, and never shivered in the loo/shower block once.
The only price is, the tent field is closed in the winter, so hardstanding it is (see above pic from December).
Get yersen an extra footprint/cheap B&Q tarp as additional protection against the stones.

Go for it, Katie. It's a wonderful experience, and for us at least, it felt like an achievement! :-)
