I remember this event very well. The very cold weather arrived on the 9th of February and continued till the 21st. On the 19th of February the level snow was about 50cm with drifts up to 20 feet. Our village was cut off from Saturday evening till the following Wednesday. It was the deepest snow i have witnessed. That year i was 13 years old and had moved to Odcombe in 1973. living on the lower crossroads for 4 years then Broadway Higher Odcombe in 1977
