It doesn't feel like much snow to me. (They have had quite a bit more elsewhere in the country, though, I know). The problems it causes in the overcrowded urban corners of the country are out of all proportion to its amount, partly because our infrastructure, in many places, is operating at capacity at peak times. I remember quite a few years when the snow has been much heavier, and longerlasting. (I am a child of the 60's after all). I remember snow drifts so deep, (probably 1963) my dad had to climb out of the window and dig a little path to our back door, with the snow banked up on each side. I also remember, sledging down a very steep hill to school when we lived in Yorkshire for a couple of years. That would have been the late 60's. The snow was deeper then the dry stone walls on either side of the cobbled track down. I even remember, maybe early 90's, Frances' at about 3 years old, disappearing into the snow into the back yard of the block of flats where we lived, in Catford.
