OK it won't snow on June 2nd this year but it looks like there will
be quite an intense low, more like January than June.
And less than a week later, we could well be in the 80s!

Interesting how exactly 40 years on the weather could well be
about to make another dramatic shift.


I've been thinking about that Col. I remember my Mom saying it was
snowing at about 7.30am, I thought she mistook snow pellets for snow.
However, when I looked out the window I was amazed, I thought I was
dreaming. LOL.

I don't remember it snowing, I was only 7, I wish I did.

My mum went to a job interview in Leeds city centre that day
and said that there was sleet there.
I would have been at primary school right up near the highest
point in Leeds so there would almost certainly have been proper
snow there, sadly I don't remember.


It was wet snow, albeit a real surprise in June. I remember it as I was
meant to get up to go to secondary school, then when my Mom started
shouting about snow, it made me curious.
