Just been watching the news and piccies of 6 or 7 foot high snow drifts from the 1940's and 1960's and brought back a happy memory of the snow in the 1960's when I was a young whipper snapper.
Snow had drifted to what I saw as a child to be to the top of the door jambs and people had dug out channels to the road and a channel down the road wide enough to walk up. My Mum determined I wouldn't stop off school asked two workers walking to the local steel warehouse to drop me off at school on the way and I remember them swinging me by the arms through the deep snow. Only six kids made it, and we were worried the school dinner might not get through, but it did and pudding was my favourite - Manchester Tart - .... and we could habe thirds, fourth's and even fifth's that day!!!!
Went home with tummy ache but with a smile on my face, got out the sledge and worked the food off sledging down a massive hill in a field across the road! Proving it's the simple things kids remember, not their highest score on the X Box or Wii
Anyone else got some great memories of lovely times in snow
