My Dad always used to tell the tail of when he was being demobbed , he got on a train in Brindisi in Italy when it started to snow , it continued to snow all the way across Europe, across the channel to London. By now the trains were running seriously late, it took all day to get from Kings Cross to Sheffield Vic then he had to walk the last 5 miles home. The year was 1947. I think he said it was Febuary, but he isn't around to check that with anymore.
Lets hope we don't get a repeat of that!
Lovely pictures thanks for posting

1947 had an astonishing snowfall. It took us all day to dig through the snowdrifts at the front and back of the house. The drifts went up to the eaves. I watched the snow the night before , it came down in lumps! I went to school the following day, even though the undrifted snow was at my eye level, not like nowadays when if there is a threat of a snowflake everything stops.

Very nice. I like the snow shot of the train coming out of the tunnel and all the buildings around the curve. very cool.

Now I know where our snow is. We are having a near record winter with the least snowfall for a winter.
