Worst winter weather for thirty years? 08/01/10

A THAMENEWS.NET reader today sent in this photograph and the following message:

“I was just reading your story about our current snow cover being the worst for 30 years. Although I was living in Thame at the time and do remember the period, it is difficult to directly compare then (from memory) and now (from looking out of the window).

I found a few photographs that I took at the time and I’ve attached one taken near the town hall. Not the best quality but it might enable a few people to judge whether it really was worse back then.
