Nostalgia: Previous Pembrokeshire snow days in pictures

The snow on Thursday, January 18, 2024, saw schools across the county closed, and many braved the cold to have some fun.

This got us thinking about the previous snowy days that we’ve had all over Pembrokeshire and how pretty the untouched snow looks. So we turned to our nostalgia group to see what pictures our members had of previous snow days.

We had lots of pictures from the 1980s – with quite a few from 1982 and Haverfordwest – as well as some from the 1960s and some more recent pictures from the early 200s to 2010s!

Here we highlight some of the snowy days from Haverfordwest, Johnston and St Davids.
