Snow!

I don't think Preston's seen snow since the last ice age. My father used to live in Chorley - don't think there was snow on the ground ever.

I have it on authority from a Chorleyan that there has been snowfall there today.

Must have been my dad keeping the snow away then. That means Burnley's probably pretty safe this year.

Coming down nice and heavy in Harrogate.

Stopped now; just the occasional flake.

A long time ago I was driving back from my then in-laws in Harrogate to my then home in Todmorden with the first Mrs Splatcher. The snow came down heavier & heavier, & by the time we got to Hebden Bridge everything ground to a halt as a bus got stuck on the hill going west out of town. We parked up in about 8 inches of snow & walked up the hill to my mum's house in Heptonstall. That was the night Halifax police station was filled with stranded motorists overnight. Tell the younger generation that, & they won't believe you. We lived in a shoebox at th'edge o't' canal. Mind you, Tod's still pretty much like that. Gravel for breakfast -delicious.

I just looked out of my mum and dads bedroom window...and theres snow on the top of Parlick.

Thats one of the Bolwand fells to those who dont know.

It's snowing on our side too, just a dusting mind.

The Radio 4 weather forecast this morning was warning of heavy snow on high ground in East Anglia today. Tyke reckons they must mean the top of his compost heap. We've no idea whether there's actually any snow in his garden as he's working in Amsterdam - where it's snowing.
