Thanks for that Mr data
Ah the memories I was 14 at the time and it was the last time school was shut because of the snow - now of course they shut schools if there is a cm of snow :lol:
The snow came in the early hours and then every few days we seemed to get a top up of fresh snow, when school finally resumed I remember a games lesson wearing our rugby kits and being allowed to go up the local hill and sled down on what ever we had to hand which was invarably plastic bags. By this time the snow was quite hard and icy and hurt like hell when only wearing shorts and it took about an hour to thaw out afterwards
great fun and nothing to really compare against since.
