It isn't quite 1962-3 yet, and its earlier, but we spent three months
adapting to that one..lots of disruption, places completely cut off for
weeks on end. Heavy loss of livestock outside, or starving inside with no
feed.

I had little trouble driving to work then.
It took two days to dig through the snow drift outside my house to get to
the main road but once that was done it was OK.
Its OK out there now, but only because so many have decided to stay at home,
if they were out there getting stuck it would be grid lock, again!
I find it hard to imagine how many get stuck as I have never got stuck on
the roads and I never drive a 4x4.



Seem to remember getting to school .. that was open every day even if
the heating packed up which meant keep yer coats on and run on the spot
if you were cold..

Course there was a differing service ethic then...
