You know what they say about the '60s, if you remember it - you weren't there

I would have been 8 in '63 and I can remember walking to school with huge snow drifts that were taller then me. Then at school we lined up the milk bottles on top of the radiators hoping it would thaw out.
That was the year my big brother got into trouble for ripping his school duffel coat going under a barbed wire fence.

Great photos Ollie

I remember the 1947 winter. I was 4 and have a picture somewhere of me standing on top of a snow drift that was level with the top of a telegraph pole. The snowplough was stuck underneath it. We were cut off for 6 weeks and I seem to remember my Dad digging down through the snow to get some Swedes. This was up in Scotland.

In 1963 I lived in banffshire. We had 4 metre drifts outside the back door and the side road was blocked for 3 months..
