How the hell would today's Britain have coped in 1963?
Schools shut everywhere apparently because of one day of snow.
We had 3 months of it in 63, so bloody cold we had icicles hanging 2 to 3 feet from guttering, snow was in places VERY deep but did we stop going to school (rarely) and I was wearing short trousers!
I love this 63 pic of the old lady going to her neighbour at the end of the road.
Today, Elf 'n Safety would reprimand her while health professionals would probably section her!
And for those too young on here who think a few flakes is a snowstorm...

I love the way they're all standing about 2 feet away! Imagine the palaver trying something like that these days.

Makes a change with the BBC as normally unless there is no snow within the M25 they don't bother to report it.
That was in the good old days. The world revolves around Salford now for some weird reason...Beyond snow as a headline, one of today's newspapers had a front page story exclaiming that winter would last for at least another week. In January.
