Apparently this is the worst snow for almost 100 years, but i certainly remember some good ones that almost compared.

One of my favourites - I was in sixth form at Paddock and only the Ossy girls made it into school, along with a handful of teachers. Instead of having classes we had a massive snowball fight against the teachers. Even the most strict teachers (Mr Uren in particular) joined in. It was great fun.

A slightly more hairy one - I was working in Blackburn and I would guess I was around about 25 yrs old. The snow came down so my boss decided to shut up shop. The only bus going remotely in the direction of Ossy was the Accrington bus, all others had stopped. It took about two hours to get from Blackburn to Church and at that point I got out and walked.

What are your best snow stories?
