February 15th 1929

Just like in February 2009, February 1929 saw heavy snow in Swanage:

On February 12th, the Log Book reports:

A fine morning, but snow rather deep. 77 children absent. Very sunny afternoon - 70 absent.

And on February 15th:

Snow falling heavily - 56 present in morning. As only 34 children came in the afternoon, registers were not marked ... The children were sent home at the usual time when their parents called for them.
