This was the winter I spent clearing paths, and pavements outside bungalows so the old folk in our community could get out and about, I was 12 or 13 back then. It was something I used to look forward to tbh, waking up around 6ish and being out clearing the snow by 7am then only stopping when someone would come out with a bun or a warm drink for us...

I remember this winter very well! I was 19 years old then. living in the south of the Netherlands. On New Years Eve nothing was happened. When I woke up the next morning my room was still dark. I lived in the top of the house, the attic. I had a big glass window there, flat on the roof, it was completely covered with snow. When I opened it, I could hardly see trough a strong and very cold blizzard. Everything was white! The garage could not be opened due a large mountain of powdersnow... So, in a couple of hours, every went completely white and frozen. I had vacation, and with some friends I dicided to go for a walk across the farmingfields and the forest. For hours.... We made it, but my feet were almost frozen. But the sight of everything in a thick layer of snow was wonderful! Going to school; I had a moped, and to my school was a nearly 2 and a half miles. I had to go on the mainroad, between the cars. All other paths for bicyclists were not possible to drive on. In februari there was an icerain. It sounded like falling glass. Everything went under a layer of thick ice. Roads, people could skate on it, and they did. In the garden we had a plant with large leaves. If you broke off the ice, it had the exact shape of the leaf. So I had an iceleaf in my hand... Good memory's, nice to see this back, thanks for posting!

Yeah, life was so good back then. How things change and not for the better. I wish we could all just go back to the good old days. Life was far easier, people were a lot happier, children were allowed to be children and I can't even remember anyone I knew ever saying they felt stressed, anxious or depressed either. I also miss the milk man and the lemonade van that used to come down the street every week. Friday would be fish and chip day and the rest of the week, we'd eat proper home made food. We'd always be out on our bikes and stuff in the good weather too.

I remember this very well, I was 14 at the time living in rural Dorset. It was a brilliant time, our village was cut off, no school for 2 weeks! We spent every day sledging! Myself and my brother had to walk 6 miles to his digs to get more insulin for him as he was running out, the drifts were as high as the hedges and we were walking on top of cars that had been abandoned. I have never seen snow that bad ( or good ) since then, they were happy times and I miss the carefree days of youth

I remember the winter of 78/79, I was 23. I had to walk to work up a hill over a mile long. The snow was so deep on the pavement where it had drifted so I walked all the way on the road. I remember the birds perched on top of the snow desperate for food so I fed them with my sandwiches and by the time I arrived at work I had none left! A lot of people had frozen pipes in their homes; as most people did not have central heating then or double glazing.

Not only was it usual in cold weather for them to be covered in frost on the inside, but they would also be frozen shut and you couldn't open them unless they thawed a little. We had a Rayburn in the main room and my dad used a paraffin heater on the landing just outside the loo to try and prevent the pipes and old cast iron cistern from freezing solid. We used rubber hot water bottles in our beds and put eiderdowns on top for extra warmth. When my mum passed away in 2014 we found one of those old eiderdowns in the cupboard! It brought back so many memories.

I witnessed both 1963 & 1978/79 winters. I know these were extreme but we just don’t seem to get hardly any normal winters now, many years pass by without even a hint of snow. I wish to see one more snowy winter before I die. The only true winters I remember are all mostly from my childhood & early teens. We all just got on with life during these heavy snowfalls, even attended school. What a different world it is now, doubt the youngsters could cope as we oldies did.

I remember it well, Colin. On one occasion, my Mother & I ( I was eighteeen at the time) had to negotiate two miles of serious snowdrifts on foot to our nearest town for food supplies - there were no online deliveries as we have now. I recall dragging my Mother's relatively full wheelie basket on the return journey - it took us three hours to get back; soaked clothing, frozen extremities, with attendant chillblains. That said, as with many individuals across the country, we endured & were none the worse for our (collective) experience. Can you imagine the magnitude of outcry there would be for today's younger generation. I consider few, if any, would have the resilience to sustain themselves or cope, now. In retrospect, it was a tough Winter, but I look back & smile at such adversity....

Each to their own, Andrew. My opinion is not based upon "social Media", at all - it is referenced from behaviours that I have witnessed on the high street - entitlement, lack of coping with the minutest of issues or in decision making, & if you cannot deal with that minutiae, it's unlikely that the significant matters in one's life are going to be dealt with effectively...Intrinsic values are, for the most part, no longer existent. It is understood that as time passes, things will inexorably alter - but should not be sacrificed for common decency, respect for others, & a willingness to be proactive in one's community - & I'm only a decade younger than you, Sir. Enjoy what remains of your day.

I was 15 in December 78. Went to bed after midnight. It was already snowing. Really windy and the snow was blowing all over the place. When l woke up the snow was still falling and still blowing about. I could not believe how deep the snow was and how it had drifted. I was in North Kent and had seen snow a lot but nothing like that. 8 hour blizzard. On new years day it snowed almost all day, very light snow though. I don't think it got above freezing for a week. At night it was about -8 to -10C in the towns. Even colder in the countryside. Out toward Meopham the roads had 10ft drifts up against the hedgerows and fences. Totally amazing.

I remember it well. I was 11, My Dad sent me to the shops to get him some tobacco, Usually it would take me about 30 mins there and back, only this time it took me hours because of the snow drifts at least 10 foot tall in places.. I got lost going across the fields - everything was white I completely lost sense of direction.. On a more positive note though a few friend and I got together and built a bob slay run through the woods, the snow was so deep it was mostly tunnels all the way.

Was only 5 in Winter of 1979, had started school only a few months earlier in September 1978 and remember deep snow in the playground and a path that the caretaker had dug out. At the time I didn't think much of it all as was so young, it was all more of an adventure. We had also moved from a house with central heating to a house with no central heating in the summer of 1978. So the first winter in that house was with no central heating. Each room had a either a gas fire or gas wall heater. It was warm, but my parents did receive a high gas and electric bill as it was an inefficient way of heating.

There was no food or drink left on the plane and we were the last plane allowed to land there. The airport was jammed with stranded people and luggage and they had made walkways within the wall to wall luggage and people! Of course I was flying by myself but I loved it. Best winter for a kid.

Great video. Sadly, I was sick and in hospital, as quite a young kid. In those days, kids were put on adult wards, according to the condition (Jimmy Saville would have loved it!). My parents must have really fought the conditions to come and visit me...I remember my Dad lifting me up to window level in those old hospitals to show me the snow, he knew I loved snow, and I literally couldn't believe it. So I missed playing out in it, but at least we still did get proper winters in the first half of the 1980s...it really saddens me to see the 'winters' of today, just damp and mild. Perhaps people of my age are the last generation to remember and experience what I would call 'proper' winters...my favourite season.

Would often wake up to frost on the inside of our windows. 🥶 I’ve done a vehicle check on the snow blower at 1:43. It was registered in 1979 and was owned by Durham CC. It was showing on their Winter Service Plan for 2010/2011 as being based at their Wolsingham depot. Last change of logbook was in 2012 so it may have been sold but it’s showing as being taxed until next July. I’d say they’ve had their monies worth out of that 😁😁

The neighbour next door was heavily pregnant, so a group of us , including the neighbour, walked across the fields as it was less deep due to drifting. We made it to a wider lane that had been snow ploughed as owner lived in the village. She made it to the hospital, her husband was away on a business trip at the time.

Born in 1970, I remember the 1978/79 winter. I recall walking home from school to get my dinner and I most likely lived closer than anybody else but because of that, and my mother being at home, I had to go back at dinner time for a sandwich rather than the hot meal which the others got (and the lovely aroma wafted through school for an hour beforehand) I had to walk up a bridle path between the school field and the gardens for the row of bungalows, one of which I lived in. Due to the snowdrifts the lane was impassable and so I decided to go the road way put the pavements were high with drifts on top and there was only a narrow rit of road then I turned left which set me in the direction of home. I had to walk to the top of that road then left and left again which should bring me down to where i lived. Everyone else had stayed in school for a hot dinner. My sister hadn't yet started school. I only got partway home and I was exhausted from trying to walk through drifts in a skirt and knee socks . I had tears and snot all over my face, i just wanted rescuing but no such luck so i weakly plodded back to school although i wasn't supposed to be there so i hid myself in the block where the playground toilets were (always outside) my legs were so red and sore, i was a mess and when the whilstle blew i went back into lessons. I cant recall how i walked home after school unless the bridlepath was cleared as the farm manager lived at the end of it and always drove a tractor. It wasn't until that night that my parents realised what happened as being Daddy's girl I told him how hungry and cold i'd been/still was. My mother hadn't even missed me. She had put the electric fire on and got toasty warm which had sent her and my toddler sister to sleep which just added insult to injury really.

It was in my early days of British Rail as a traction trainee (driver) that I found myself in this formidable winter. My first year at school had been in the winter of 1963 the coldest winter since 1763, but 1978/79 came close. The Penmanshiel Tunnel near to Grantshouse in the Scottish Borders collapsed on the 17th of March with two men’s body’s never recovered if I remember correctly. On early morning trains from Newcastle to Edinburgh we would smash through dozens of huge icicles hanging from the tunnel’s roof. Little did I realise how dangerous the situation had become. The East Coast Main Line (ECML) was eventually diverted around the collapsed tunnel and I believe there to be a cairn to the memory of the men who died.
