The "worst snow in a decade" apparently.

Sporadic Sparkly

An Amber weather warning for heavy snow has been issued for the UK region where I live, which is due to come into effect tonight. According to a BBC News article, it will be the worst snow in my region for a decade. The local weather forecast for the town where I live states there will be heavy snow between 10pm and midnight, making me inclined to think that it probably won't be the "worst" snow in a decade in my particular area of the region. Therefore, I'm anticipating that I will probably be left feeling underwhelmed.

The "worst" snow (or best snow) I remember was in January 1982, when I was living in South-East Wales. It had snowed for 36 hours, and as a young child I thought it was wonderful.

  • We're just outside the weather warning areas, so it might be a bit wet and windy, but no snow apparently.

    I was living in west Wales during the 81-82 snow, I remember we got snowed in twice, once before xmas and once after for about a fortnight each time. By January I was heavily pregnant and a few weeks away from my due date, all the men in the village got together and decided that if I went into labout then they'd get the bloke who saw to the ewes to come to me! This was despite us having a couple of women with midwifery experience in the village and if things went badly wrong an air ambulance could of come for me.
