Depends where you are, first snow is normally late Oct early Nov up
here. Rarely lasts long though.


I didn't see the broadcast and I'd taken the context as more general, and
that lowland Britain was "in for it". My mum still lives near Consett,
800' up in the eastern Pennines and I was brought up there, so I'm
familiar with early and late snow. I'm sure the late snow of 6th June
(1975, I think) has been mentioned before, particularly because it was
notorious in that it wasn't confined to upland areas.

The earliest I remember snow in Consett was around 20th September, but the
year escapes me. It must have been in the late 60s or early 70s.
Clearly, the higher hill communities have a more extended season still,
although I have no first-hand experience of recent years and the obvious
general dearth of snow now might have affected matters.
