i was born in 1960
i was told the snow was on the ground from December until March and when it thawed because the ground/grassy areas where covered for a long time ,there was a bad smell like rotting vegetation
now i remember my mother and my grandma and her neighbour holding handkerchiefs to there faces ,i was sat at my grandmas kitchen table
maybe i could of been another scenario but i also remember very,very big mounds of snow pilled up around the village we lived in
and to save another thread .......... i am re-purposing my loft ,so my day of model railwaying have ended after 12 years ,not long really
keep warm everyone, all the best for the future
