Description

Scenes in the Shaw area after a very heavy snowfall. People struggle to walk in it, fences are almost submerged, and the road has had to be cleared from drifts 3-4 feet deep. There are shots of barns ful of snow, almost hidden cars and children walking in deep trenches cut into the snow. There is a roadside restaurant almost overwhelmed by snow and the film ends with children sledging.
