Interesting post.
I was born in 76 and lived in Stockport until 87 before moving to Mossley until my mid 20’s. I don’t remember 81 and in my infant years Snow was something I loved but we never got. Until one morning mid 80’s when I woke up to what was several inches for the walk to school. Spending my teenage years in Mossley was a different matter. Very little in the late 80’s but the 90’s delivered some beauties, even a Sunday morning in June we had a blanket of snow until the afternoon. Our weather is so extraordinary when it comes to unpredictability, places do have their own climate.
