More snow to come? Guess the year.

Made a discovery in a trunk in the garage. Find it fascinating reading old newspapers. Some interesting adverts too!

Are you going to keep it a secret until a certain time like the usual cattle guess the weight competitions?

I found a 100 year old paper stuck behind the lath and plaster in the Atholl Palace Hotel when I was digging a swimming pool back in the days when I worked for a plant hire firm. It was an interesting read, outside sheet was a bit faded, rest of it was perfect.

A year ago, about the 20th.. Blizzards and drifting here, most years get hard frosts into may.

It sounds like quite a while back doesn’t it? I would guess it would be about 988 BC?

Would have been snowploughs drawn by wooly mammoths I would think

We had about 2 inches of snow lying on teh morning my nephew was born - 14th May 1993. There were heavy snowfalls across the UK in mid-April 1981 . It checked milk production noticeably , in what most unfortunately became the base year for milk quotas.

1978 or 1979?
There was odd weather in both those years.

It's hard to date newsprint, isn't it.

 

[Lucy's dad]

Does this bring back any memories? [emoji33]

Got to be many years ago.

Openreach would take at least a month to get there.

 

[primmiemoo]

I'm far too young!
And way off with thinking '70s.

Industrial graphics ... how much did they change from the 1940s to the 1960s?

 

[Dman2]

snowed here on the 9th may 1989
was trying to mover a static caravan onto the farm to live in while we built our house
towed it 4 mile up the road no problem
Turned into the farm and the stub axle snapped off
Took another 2 days to get it where we wanted in blizzarding snow
