Rob. ---------------- I couldn't get to school for almost a week in 1963 because the bus couldn't get up the hill through the four foot snow drifts. Naturally the school was open despite the outside toilets being a bit frozen. Managed the next three months though the 12" pack ice on the pavements was tricky at times. Dave P.S - Wouldn't it be a wonderful opportunity to put all those funny 4WD jeep things on the school run to good use. |

Neither the primary or grammar school I attended were *ever* closed because of the weather. The country is going truly soppy. It would be interesting to know what happens in other European countries. In Jakutsk, Russia, schools are closed if the temperature drops below -51°C. As far as the present setup is concerned, the temperature here is now above freezing with a moderate SE'ly so with luck we'll get away without much snow. This stuff lost its attraction for me at roughly the same age as I gave up collecting engine numbers, i.e. about 13. Tudor Hughes, Warlingham, NE Surrey, 556 ft. |

No problems on the roads - everything normal. Everything, that is, except for the council's refuse collections - they closed down for the day. I (and many others) complained and was told the weather had been too dangerous for the collections to be made. I disagreed but they insisted the weather had been too extreme :-( Lazy sods had arranged the day off (paid) the day before and stuck to it in spite of no bad weather. -- Regards, Hugh Jampton |
