My Mum was heavily pregnant at the time and the local shopkeeper very kindly kept some bread and milk aside for my Mam whenever deliveries made it through She would sent it direct to our front door with whatever neighbour was passing by.

I don't remember any serious snow then, and snow that'd cover whole trees would surely have been memorable, to say the least. I've had a look at <a href="http://www.tutiempo.net/en/Climate/Dublin_Airport/39690.htm" rel="nofollow">this site</a> too, which records the weather at Dublin airport, and for 5 January 1984 it says the temperature was between 3.6 and 8 degrees, and that it rained. Unlike, say, the rather more dramatic <a href="http://www.tutiempo.net/en/Climate/Dublin_Airport/1982/39690.htm" rel="nofollow">January 1982 figures</a>. Or were you being sarcastic?

When I woke up the next morning the snow was at my window sill and I was on the second floor. I could only see the tips of the top of the trees. It lasted about 2 weeks and we couldn't get milk or bread anywhere. The big news was when a shop got a delivery and everyone would walk there and drag back what they could get.

There was also an earlier big freeze, even more severe I believe - in 1963 - but that was before my time. Hi Lorraine,
