All you have mentioned is very true, we lived in Co Durham in 79 and walked
around, cleared our path and roadway, our daughter only missed one day at
school when the bus couldn't get through the dales.
When we moved south and they had an inch of snow the school sent the
children home, much to the amusement of our daughter.
In the bad snows of 63 & 64 we didn't own a car and huge volume of cars are
parked in the street now through lack of driveways. I dont know anyone
with a leaf blower let alone a snow blower (except my sister who has lived
in Canada since 93).
Lots of people are beginning to learn what their legs are for, >g> and many
having fun doing it, but the biting temps we are not used to is difficult.
Also those of use with disabilities would not manage to walk far,
unfortunately. Still like many I keep a reasonable store cupboard and I am
gaining bulk every week with extra layers of clothing:-) I might look like
a tele tubby soon, <g>
Keep safe everyone.
'Up North' we're more used to the white stuff. We always say it's an
'overcoat warmer' down south! Jean says about the grit boxes. We still
have them up here.... the problem is, they're all empty! The council are
concentrating on keeping the roads open rather than We probably rely on
our wheels too much, and live too far away from our place of work as a
consequence.
