    My first post on here in a very long time. I can't say I'm enjoying this Autumn as much as I normally do, thanks to the abnormal warmth, excess rain and a lack of those cool, still, foggy days or sunshine to really show off the colours, so my thoughts are turning to winter. I found the following photos on a local history website; it seems to have been a hefty fall of snow, I'd guess 30-40cm. They were taken halfway up the Valleys in Nelson but I have no idea when, other than clearly in the 1990s due to the Vauxhall Astra in the first photo.

    Can anyone with a memory that goes this far back hazard a guess as to when this was? I wasn't born until 1990 and my mental almanac of weather events goes back no earlier than the early 2000s. Thanks.

    Hmm.. tricky one that. L reg cars were registered from 1994 but I don't know what time if year. If anyone knows if they were start or end of the year then we may be able to suss out the year. I remember Feb 96 really well. My first year of comprehensive school, started snowing around 10.30 am and didn't STOP all day and all night. School sent us home but the buses couldn't get there til half 3, then we spent the next  few days sledging and doing what kids should do in the snow...HAVING FUN!!!

    So, I wonder if we can squeeze a few more snow events out of our winters, before climate change puts the lid on it for good? I'm grateful that I'm old enough to have experienced proper winters in the 80s - frequent snow cover and ice days! The younger generation will sadly never experience what us older folk did. I hope you are all well btw. Some of you may remember that my mum died two days before Christmas last year, well I have just sold her house, the family home that I grew up in. I keep feeling like I've betrayed her. Anyway, it's a time for me to look to what lays ahead, which hopefully includes a cold and snowy winter x

    Not knowing you personally but don't feel like you have betrayed her. Houses are just bricks and motor, the memories you made there will stay with you for life. Thats what's important. keep those memories alive by celebrating your mums life whenever you can and if remembering the snowy winters in the 80s helps you do that then I hope for you we see many more in the future to bring keep those memories burning bright.

    Remember folks

    We have no issues getting Precipitation here in Wales, its cold we struggle to get.

    We have the cold and it will be difficult to move.

    Breakdowns are our best option and Storm Emma was an attempted breakdown.

    Models have hinted at a transient snow followed by rain even, now hinting at extending the cold instead. So we can not only see opportunity extended, but also chance of multiple attempt at failed breakdowns. Nothing is nailed on by ANY model including Met Office hi rez.

    This can still be a very good even where everywhere in UK will have seen significant snow

    Scotland ❋

    East England ✻

    Very good chance that South West and Wales will get it soon ✻

    Central England follows ✽

    Now with that as a fair possibility i would say its better outlook than all of last winter

    Patience Friends

    Hard to argue with that..Good post that ????????
