Here this morning. Brrrrrrrrrrrr |  |
| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

The big freeze lasted for weeks on end, winters tend to do that. Plenty of time for the journey | | | |

That part eludes me , but my mother said it was my grandfathers car. He had a big Humber car with the big wheel arches and riding plates. I remember that car. He passed away in 66. I'm getting all nostalgic and sentimental now.. It's your fault. | | | |

By the end of December 1962 much of our road network was impassable. In some areas cars literally froze to the tarmac, and snow-ploughs struggled to get through. Entire villages were cut off, and people had to rely on helicopters to drop them food supplies.

i'm not sure the actual month, but i would guess it was on one of the snow free days. i'l have to ask my mother if she can remember. she's almost 93, so may be a bit uncertain | | | |

She said the roads were often cleared and gritted just as they are today. She said even then it was Wales and not Alaska | | | |
