| 摘要： | The notorious winter of 1962/63 came to be known as the Big Freeze of 1963. Snow fell heavily on Boxing Day and remained on the ground until Easter in deepest West Sussex.I had joined West Sussex CC in early 1962 as a draughtsman in the private street works team due to its expansion following the 1959 Highways Act. There was nothing in my job description regarding winter maintenance or emergency response - but that was soon to change.The heavy snowfall arrived from a southerly direction off the English Channel, unusual in Sussex as such falls usually arrive from the east. It blanketed the coastal towns and in particular Bognor Regis. To the north, a short length of dual carriageway known as the Shripney Bypass, built in the 1930s, had a beech hedge along its central reserve, some 2 metres in height - it was buried by the blanket of snow which fell. |
