Too soon yet to crow or moan. February is usually the worst month for snow, and it's a long time until Easter. I don't remember 1947 because I was only 11 months old at the time (precocious, yes, but not that precocious). I do remember 62/63, it was abysmal - month after month of freezing slush, no central heating in those days, huddling over a coal fire, ice on the INSIDE of the bedroom window. My elders and betters told me that 47 was worse, because coal was still on ration or not easily available, and people did freeze.
