It will be interesting to see how long some of the snow piles last. At
my auction last night, in their yard, the snow pile was around 12 feet
tall,

You were auctioning off a pile of snow?

The Eskimos are running short, so I understand.....

February 1956 was very cold and snowy. I remember playing in the garden at
the age of 6 with snow up to my thighs It may be that one they remember.

February, 1956 was certainly very cold, but I think much of the country
had a dry month, with significant snow being largely restricted to
counties bordering the North Sea.
