Thanks for the extra info George.

I must see if I can find my late father's photographs of winter 1947 -
trains in snowdrifts, that sort of thing. I remember him telling me how
difficult it was to get round his country patients that winter - he had to
borrow tractors or horses to get to some of them.

My memory is of walking through 'canyons' cut through the snow drifts in
Largs, Ayrshire. The drifts seemed to me to be very deep but as I was
only 4 years old my viewpoint was pretty near the ground :-)
