thegeneral1 Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 @brooksy Better LATE than NEVER! Derbys V Lancs May-June 1975....Snow stopped play....I was a member of the ground staff at the `Park` in the 70s-80s and I can assure you it definitely was SNOW!! Infact it was blizzardous, the media reports were completely incorrect stating an inch of SNOW...There was an inch in the first 5 minutes!! For some insane reason Dickie Bird did a `Wicket-Inspection` on the Monday and half way to the Mid-Field he said...."Tha carnt play on this lad".... It was madness...we were painting the boundary benches on the previous Mon.....Cutting the grass on the banks upto the clubhouse on the Tues and Marstons were stocking up the beer marquees on the Wed...we were all in shorts and T-shirts..... https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/snow-scenes-june-1975---9375720 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reg1 Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I remember the snow in June 75 I was playing 7 a side football at Rowlinson and the match was abandoned. Strange but I always remember my grandmother saying to me it would snow in June and she was right. Mel Randall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sovrappeso Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 It definitely did snow in June 1975, but after a couple of hours it was gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartshome Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 YES! First week of JUNE 1979. My daughter was 13 months old. We were going to my Mums for lunch. I couldn't believe it in the morning when I opened the curtains. Thick snow was falling down, and the whole sky was a most awful scary yellow. I had to put my daughter in her red winter 'all in one'. Took photo's and wrote the date on the calendar. 'WEIRD' The news later said it was a freak storm, and the yellow sky I think! was due to the ash from a volcano erupting. It was certainly a bizarre day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
