Have you ever been snowed in either at home or somewhere else and what did you do? I have a daydream about being snowed in on a train journey and where you would sleep🤔

I'm looking at snowed in to mean you can't get outside of your house and literally can't get anywhere if you can manage that part.

Yes that's what I took it to mean - the example I gave the morning we woke up to that snow I opened the door but the wind was so strong and had whipped the snow outside flat like packed ice at the door step as there wasn't anything to drift against there. There wasn't a way you could step out and stay on your feet. The quarter mile track to the single lane road had high walls on each side and was totally filled in. The single lane road was filled to the top of the stone walls for the mile to the main road. The main road had high bankings at the junction and up the hill and was totally filled in, probably 15ft deep. Normal snow plows couldn't clear it. They had to wait for a snow blower to become available from the highlands (once they cleared their own snow). Took about 4 days to get it clear. single track road was low priority so wasn't cleared for 8. The farmer eventually dug us out from the track but it took ages with the small bucket tractor

I very nearly got snowed in at work (rural primary school) once when the snow drifted right over the road. We'd closed at lunchtime but by the time all the children were collected it was really bad. Luckily all the local farmers were out with their tractors snow ploughing. The village was completely cut off the following day.
