one of the coldest winters in 30 years?

[Ledbury Lad]

It's always at this time of the year, and especially after reading all the speculatory forecasts on threads such as this, that I love to look back through all my weather records and scrapbooks which bring all the memories of Winters Past come flooding back to me, the first in my memory bank was that of exactly 60 years ago now...... I was a snow loving 9 year old, and all my dreams came true in 1946/1947 ..to excess. Sixteen years later as a mature B) 24 year old having to work for a living I went through all the same childish enthusiasm in 1962/1963 That was even colder and we all thought it was going to last forever.
