I remember the heavy snows of 1981/2 (I wasn't alive for the other two!). I recall driving to Coventry through drifts that had been ploughed into canyons higher than the roof of the car. Snow that laid level on our street in Oxford 12" deep. Oh the fun we had at school that winter! Does anyone have any further details on this winter, length of snowy/severe period? How did it compare to '47 and '63? |

To anyone interested in amazing snows, upstate New York (Fulton County
area) may be experiencing some records. One town had 46" this morning with another 3-4 feet expected by tomorrow. It's Lake effect snow, but still.... Pegleg |

I was living near Wrotham in Kent and remember it just like in those photos. I was in the RAF in Jan 1963 and on my way back to Marham on Sunday evening I made my way very carefully up the A2 towards London. Near Dartford I drove through a canyon, not much wider than a car and about 12 feet deep. A few miles later I was stopped by an AA patrolman who asked where I'd come from. When I replied "Chatham" he said "you're the first today". |
