1963 was long before my time
but I have seen footage of the snow on TV and seen the trains fitted with snow ploughs and how villages were cut off for weeks with no outside help at all.
These days I think we are probably less well equipped to cope despite the improvements in plant and machinery and towns like yours would probably be completely cut off and left to cope by themselves with no supplies being delivered.
