In my lifetime I wonder if I will ever see a proper snowfall in Sussex again. Not the 1/2 inch dusting gone by lunchtime which we only ever get, I mean a good 5 or 6 inches, ooer madam. In the mid 80's we had 3 or 4 winters in a row with a 4-6 inch fall of snow which hung around for weeks. some winters the temperature did not get above freezing for 2-3 weeks.
Now a cold day contitutes today for example 8c with some rain.
When I was a lad one day the maximum temperature in Brighton was -6c and at night it feel regularly to -10 to - 14c.
I brought a sledge in 1991 and to date it is still in the shed having never been used.
We had the usual joke forecasts a few weeks back that this was gong to be the severiest winter for 100 years .
Where is the forst, where is the snow ?. I'm still waiting.
Any Sussex snow tales from the older NSC members ?. I remember the road from Brighton to Rottingdean being closed for a few days with 8 feet drifts, do you remember that ?.
