A very interesting account Peter. A casualty of the snowstorm was Winston
Churchill whose car became immersed in deep drifts at Biggin Hill and was
abandoned. He eventually managed to obtain another vehicle and made his

way
to Chartwell by a very circuitous route.
Another story was the Reading Co-operative Society Choir who sang at the
high security prison of Broadmoor in Berkshire. They left by coach and it
soon became stuck in the drifts. They had to walk through the snow all

night
and finally made it to Reading many miles away and they were still

singing!

Dear Mr Currie-Coulsdon.
You mean you didn't give one of your many so well publicised talks that day,
or even mention it in your November forecast for that winter:-)

No, unfortunately my cot became stuck in a snowdrift and my mother abandoned
her trip to the local shops. I did make a few shrieks and screams of delight
when the 12.55 weather forecast came on!

We were moving house that day. Unfortunately as I was aged three and a
half at the time, I don't remember the snow at all.
