Priceless footage of one of the most extraordinary events the country has seen in the past 50 years. I was less than a month old when this snow arrived & have been told countless stories of how the snow & severe temperatures ground everything & everybody to a halt & the things people had to do to literally survive. Seeing it for real here in all its raw savagery is hard to describe
