Meanwhile, in places where it actually does snow it was brought in after people died getting home…
I remember hearing a tale of a kid, dropped at the end of his farm road, only made it within 250 yards of his house before succumbing to the weather. My memory might be a bit wonky, this was back in the seventies. In Aberdeenshire.
Being bussed into school we all had to have storm addresses nearby.
But, yeah, folk taking the day off coz ‘snow’. Mostly 😀
