Are you in our photo gallery capturing Mansfield's snow storm of 1990?

The winter of 1990 will always be remembered for the great December snowstorm as Mansfield came to a standstill when heavy snow caused power cuts around the town.

Do you remember the chaos of mid-December in 1990?

Hunting for candles as power cuts lasted for days, digging paths for your neighbours and major water shortages as the whole town was covered by snow and ice.

Were you a child enjoying the school closures, or did you have to try and battle through the snow to attend work?

Have a look through this gallery and see if you can spot yourself.
