I lived up Fern Gore (Miller Fold) in the mid 60 to early 70s. We seemed to get loads of deep snow every winter. I remember crying with the cold by the time we got to school up at Green Howarth (I was 8 or 9 at the time). The bus couldn't get up there because of the drifts so we had to walk and the bloody stuff would last for ages. that said we would spend hours pi**ed wet through playing in the deep drifts up and down the street and sliding down Nelsons Hill on home made sleds. In 30 years of living in Blackpool I’ve only seen two lots of decent snow and only one of those was deep and lasting back in the late 70s.
