Can anyone here manage it?

I never can, though that might be partly because they generally occur on
muggy nights where it's hard to drop off anyway.

I find it difficult, but mainly because of the child in me, you remember
when you was a kid and it was snowing outside, you just had to keep getting
up and looking out of the curtains.

As I recall, it was far more often a case of looking out of the window
and wondering 'where is that snow they forecast?'

Both of the above!
My missus gets very intolerant of my "is it snowing yet" bedroom antics!

Did you experience December 1981, I lived in Featherstone then and we bore
the brunt, no school for a week after that one! I remember walking out in
the back garden snow drifts upto to my neck in snow, I was 13 at the time an
probably about 5'3"

Are you talking about Featherstone, Staffs ?

Yes, I was 16 then.

The level snow was about 15-18 inches deep - the most I've ever seen in
Cheltenham.

The drifts were deeper, obviously.

Then there was January 1982, when the temperature fell to -20C here!

Yep. I can remember many disappointments, notably that Saturday night in
February 1978 when the great West Country snowstorm failed to spread
across into SE England as had been forecast.
