No, don't get confused by the snowy landscapes and people buzzing in cafes, trying to get warm over a cup of tea! Christmas is not near, neither is Winter time!
Here are some amazing pictures of snowy Essex posted by BBC News. You can see some unusual photographs as the one of an Amur leopard walking in the snow, cute photos of children making snowmen and beautiful white landscapes!
But what struck our attention was the picture of the frozen sea coast in Frinton!
The reason is that Signals Youth Film Club are currently editing our latest film 'Turning Tides'. It is a documentary about the history of Essex piers, how they have been used, abused and enjoyed over the years.
In the film we are also sharing the story of the Big Freeze in 1963 when the people of Walton-on-the-Naze woke up to see the unusual sight of the frozen sea! The story is being told by Peter Frost, who was 17 years old then.
He, and his colleague David West, had the chance not only to witness the amazing view, but to take some great photographs and help keeping this historical moment for Essex piers! You can read more about it in Peter Frost's blog - Walton Tales.
You can also see the teaser of 'Turning Tides' which launching is coming soon!
