The last time I saw weather like this I was 30 years younger and far more sprightly so I guess getting around wasn't a problem..plus all the roads got cleared and the pavements were gritted..and there was more public transport.
In the 1963 freeze I lived in London on Shooters Hill.The pavements were cleared by the council workers(with shovels) but we still had snow piled in heaps well into March it was so cold for so long.
Yes I coped but local councils and their workers and the community at large pulled together to take care of others..it was a more joined up effort.This time round it seems more disjointed.
