If we assume that Snow was indeed 27/28 when she gave birth to Emma in 1983 (which is completely illogical by any guess). Then Snow was 10 around the year 1965 or 1966, which means that Isaac didn't write Snow and Regina's story, but did write what had happened afterwards.

Time running concurrently,

Snow and Regina's story is 1965/1966.

Everything afterwards is fair game for the Author. The real Question is why isn't he older. He looked to have grey hair at first, but then he didn't. He should be have aged 50 years!
