I was about 5 years old when we last had so much snow, I vaguely recall throwing my Dad's hammer into the snow for some reason, and his angry response as he realized it was lost in 3 foot of drifting snow.
This picture was taken on a walk around the village about 3 weeks ago, the snow plough has cleared the road but created mountains of snow on the pavements. I asked our elderly neighbour if I could get her any essential supplies, she asked for Lamb Chops and Chip Shop style frozen breaded Cod ! she's obviously never been to our local Spar. Interestingly the entire village had the same idea and descended to the Local Store to buy Bread and Milk; queues out of the door and of course no milk or bread in sight !
