Wrap Up Well
On 29 and 30 December 1962 a blizzard swept across South West England and Wales. Snow drifted to more than 20 feet deep in places, driven by gale force easterly winds, blocking roads and railways. The snow stranded villagers and brought down power lines. The near-freezing temperatures meant that the snow cover lasted for more than two months in some areas. Snow was 6 inches deep in Manchester city centre.( thanks to Jeff Wharton for photo of re enactor dog walking couple flic.kr/p/2qrhn32 background photo from Wikipedia )
