  Verse 12.  Then Guy McCul and Charlie Cross they cruised the woods all round;
             They thought they could do better upon McIneriney's ground.
             On the second day of January we set out on a tramp
             And shifted all our wagon up to McIneriney's camp.

I don't know about winter of '73, but I remember the winter of '63 in Britain. The snows came in January and lasted until March. It was the last seriously long cold winter. Some winters in the late 70's may have been colder but didn't last as long.

It is a long time since we had a seriously bad winter in Britain.
