As a snow warning has been issued for the area, we've taken a peek in our archives for the photos of one of the last times west Cumbria experienced a big snow storm.

It was February 1996 and the area ground to a halt.

We've found photos taken by our photographers and pictures submitted by readers.

What are your memories of the snow in February 1996? Were you forced to sleep in Whitehaven Sports Centre because you couldn't get home?

We've also found this video on Youtube, put together by Paul Glenister, of the snow around Egremont in February 2006. The music is by Mike Glenister.

Do you remember any other bad snowfalls?
