It is snowing again here in the Cotswolds - not proper big snow flake snow but still exciting. (Can't remember the last time it snowed two days running in the UK.)

When growing up in Blairgowrie NE Scotland, we used to have at least a monnth of Snow on the ground in the winter, the local loch was used for curling etc, and most local villages had outdoor curling rinks. So we should not forget that prior to Global warming and only a few years ago it did used to get pretty severe in Winter. In fact the coldest recorded temp in Scotland is -25 at Braemar.

I'm not denying Scotand and parts of northern England are used to snowy cold weather, I was just chuckling at the bit I quoted ......

I remember visiting my mate in Aberdeenshire and asking what the sticks at the side of the road were. She explained that when the snow was several feet deep and came over the hedges, they were the only way folks could tell where the road was meant to be!

daft batty

yes I do, and I remember reading something about it saying that in the UK its pretty much true as the north/north west wind usually brings snow, but colder weather comes with and east wind and no snow.

one of those useless pieces of info that fill my brain !

Some people though have forgotten what it was like Morwenna, or should I say dont realise that winter does (did) occur in some parts of the UK. Anyway if global warming predictions are right and the noth atlantic drift will alter its direction, then the UK is destined to loose a bit of its landmass (bye bye london) and get a colder climate, as the north altlantic drift is why the climate remains relatively mild, particularly on the west cost of scotland.
