Too right! I gave the whole system another flush for good measure yesterday and they’re positively toasty now.
The frostbite on my nose still hasn’t gone from driving it to the MOT though

Re: Post your snow pics here
Completely blocked matrix, I had nothing to lose so I connected a hose to it and hit it with full mains pressure! after about 30 seconds the blockage started to pass and after all the rad weld/crud had stopped coming out I back flushed it and connected it back in.
This worked quite well, but they were still only lukewarm, and seemed to get worse when the stat opened.
So I bought some Wynns coolant flush and ran that through it for the day, followed by another thorough flush of the matrix and radiator. They're pretty much what I would expect now, and I haven't heard the fans kick in since either.

Didn't have time to play. Busy rescuing people most of the time.

Ugh... Stop!
I'm proper jealous, and whilst it has *just* dropped below freezing Daaan Saaaf, the closest we've had to snow is very, very cold drizzle.
