I think you will find the winter in question was 1962-63!

Ah. Please enlighten me - was the notorious winter of 1947 1946/7
or 1947/8?

1947/48.

That is incorrect. I left South Africa to settle in England in April
1947, and I experienced the tail end of the 1946/7 winter. Even in
April, the cold could freeze the balls off a brass monkey.. The
1847/8 winter was comparatively milder and shorter.
