I remember Feb 1978 really well, it was total chaos in Devon from the Saturday evening until Wednesday/Thursday. I've hated snowfall ever since. 

Another event like that in the middle of a mass vaccination campaign, alongside the road accidents and hypothermia putting people in hospital, is the last thing that we need

Here's a good video ref 78. I could tell you a good story about 15ft drifts and police escorts of the back of that storm.

A blizzard in 1978 caused all sorts of problems for locals and one Yeovil resident remembers it well
