I was around in 1963 and I can't say I specifically recall the year but in junior school I remember snowball fights, rolling balls to make huge snowmen, and, my favourite, long ice slides which we'd made by repeat "skiing" across the same patch of snow in the playground! The last real summer was 1976 with sunny day after sunny day. Now we get planes leaving trails to turn sunny blue skies into weird cloud cover! Winters were definitely colder than today with more snow.
