Yep, my two sisters and neighbours went to The Grange. My sisters are 7 years and 6 years older than me. I remember that HUGE snowfall we had when I was about 10, 6ft drifts, my dad had to did us out the back garden. Went sledging by Hanham Hall hospital, the big fields at the back... Gosh,, now that was what I call a Winter :clapping:

I bet i know them.

Sounds like 30/31 Dec 1978 or mid-Feb '78.

the Dec one someone smashed into a fence on that hill, off a sledge - ambulance came, badly injured.

Winter of 78/79 was my best winter - numerous blizzards - proper blizzards.

I often pop into this thread due to the fact it's friendly and positive..

I hope that front slows down and gives you some white stuff.

As for us in the mids... I've got my tin hat on ready, West v East Mids, looks like it might turn ugly. :lol:

All I remember was it started snowing, I was lamppost watching, and it snowed and snowed and the wind got wilder and wilder and all I could see was massive drifts of snow. Was absolutely amazing, I would love for my son to experience this just once like me and it was the most amazing childhood memory. My sisters are kim (kimberley) and lynn (sherralynn) Bryant.? Do you know the Bakers? Rendalls? people like that? Anyway,,,, Bring on snow like that again I say. Can't believe that nowadays we would all sale our grannys for just a few flakes.

So much for get the cold in place first and wait for the snow. How about get the deep cold in place and wait for a warm front to come along and increase the temps and leave maybe a slushy deposit.

Hit -8C now, pressure steady at 1038mb. Just been in the Wales thread and a few members towards the East are also reporting low temps so that might just help things along.
