Roughly this time two years ago (16th August approx.) Stokes Valley and the rest of Wellington suffered what became known as ‘Snowmageddon’. After some sunny summers to find a winter like this cause everyone on the hop!

Mum and I in the back garden

Many of you may think, snow * shrug * no big deal, what you won’t know is that the area has not seen snow for 30 years! Snowmageddon in certainly is!

Imagine the impact of this snow on younger members of the community, seeing snow for the first time ever!

Snow in our front area.

Dad had driven to the station that day, and mum had to text him to say, drive carefully, we are snowbound! Did we cats like it? No, we didn’t! and we could not wait for it to disappear MOL!

I can’t wait for summer to get out in the garden again.

See you soon Snowmageddon folks.
