2005 Snow Events - Midlands Weather Forum

Dollsworth · #1 (**Link to Post**) 22-Sep-2008, 20:49

Hi there, I am doing a project in Geography at school related to the 2005 Snow Events in the UK. It was the snowiest year, joint with 1876, on record for the period 1861-2005. These were the major snow event periods:

1 - 2 Jan
12 Jan
17 - 18 Jan
23 - 27 Jan
18 Feb
20 - 28 Feb
1 - 4 Mar
13 - 14 Mar
7 - 8 Apr
15 Apr
24 - 25 Nov
17 Dec
27 - 29 Dec
30 Dec

Unfortunately i didn't own a camera back then, but i was wondering if any of you have any photos of snow during that year, and if so whether you would give me permission to use them?
(Please state when and where the photo was taken)
Many thanks.

I have one photo on an old phone of mine from 1st jan 2005 showing snow on the ground of where i work.
I'm not sure if i can retreive it or get it to upload on here, but i will try.

Lucky! Only yesterday i was having a rummage through some old stuff that was packed away from the move to new house and i found my old HD, a old 6 gig with all my old weather photos from 2003 - 2005.

Iam sure there will be a few snow photos on there somewhere - so you will be welcome to use them.

Ill have a look through tomorrow and upload them to a photobucket album and pass on the password to you.

Sorry Dollsworth, i have found the old phone and looked at the photo on it but i have lost the USB cable (or put it somewhere and can't remember where

)
How silly of me

How long have you got until this needs to be complete?

The problem is renaming all the photos in chronological order and sifting through a few thousand images and files that are in no order at all.

I would say by Sunday it should be complete, i have 15 images ready so far.

Thanks for this by the way

Dolly, I've had a look through and I'm a bit short of snow photo's. However I have this one of the back garden. Stone (Staffs). Taken at 14.00 on 28/11/05. If it's what your after then your welcome to use it.

Cheers for that
