The Snow Of 1947

Happy first day of Spring folks... Today' historical share is another set of photos I remember from my childhood. I have never seen snow like this in my lifetime, but these photos (we assume) taken in 1947 were enough to set my imagination racing as a child. 

This middle photo is actually a bus stuck in a snowdrift, and to think if we have 2" now England comes to a stand still. 

Looking back these people didn't have double glazing, central heating and the high tech clothing that we do. I see these images and have complete respect for the older generation, that is what you call hardcore!!
