Rivelin6 Â Â 11 #1683 Posted April 29, 2015 It snowed in May a couple of years ago and I remember it snowing in June when I was a kid ? Look on people's Facebook pages for snow on Snake Pass yesterday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Dannyno   19 #1688 Posted April 29, 2015 http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/learning/snow/snow-in-the-uk  On 2 June 1975 snow showers forced the abandonment of several cricket matches across the country.  See also: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/media/pdf/i/1/Snow_in_June_-_2_June_1975.pdf  Earliest snowfall recorded: September, 1885.  ---------- Post added 29-04-2015 at 17:52 ----------  I remember it snowed on 01/06/1976.It was my first year on site as an apprentice joiner.The summer turned out to be a scorcher,the government had to appoint a Minister for Drought.I think it was Denis Howell.  It was June 1975. There wasn't any snow in June 1976. Howell was Minister for Drought in 1976.  See above.  ---------- Post added 29-04-2015 at 18:00 ----------  I believe there are photos somewhere of snow in August. I can't find them but there are several articles if you google 'snow August uk'  It will be hail.  Snow hasn't fallen in August since records began. At least, where records are kept. Apart, possibly, for this: http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/home-news/the-first-snow-of-winter-falls-in-august-1.1052323  However, there are places in Scotland where patches of snow can survive over the summer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_patches_in_Scotland Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Longcol   602 #1689 Posted April 29, 2015 I remember as a child we had flurries of snow on the Lincolnshire Wolds when returning from Mablethorpe one Whitsun in my Dads "Standard Flying 9".  I'm pretty sure it was 1959 when Whit fell mid May.
