Yes, I remember it and IIRC, even at that stage the forecast was almost
exactly as it later happened. I was living in the West of Scotland
(Kilmarnock) at the time and they escaped lightly (1cm or so), much to my
annoyance when I heard about what was happening elsewhere. Much better out
towards East Kilbride where I later moved to.

So many have reported though that it was the last major snow incident in the
Midlands southwards and I certainly have not seen anything worthy of a
decent fall since I came back south in 1998, first to Rugby, now Malvern.

Still see some decent snow sometimes (eg 45cm level depth! near EK at
Christmas 2000) when I visit friends in Scotland though.

I remember it a bit - I remember toasting bread by the gas fire after
the power went off for 24 hours where we were in Tamworth! I had just
turned 11 at the time though.
