You wern't around in 1963. I was at school in the North Cotswolds and even I got fed up with the amount of snow - after three months! It was still under the hedges in May. I remember walking down the main road on the tops of cars and scraping down to see if anyonewas inside. Honest. Drifts up to telegraph wires and up to the bedroom window. God, this makes me feel old!
