In South Yorkshire we woke up to light snow which looked as if it would set in
but it just faded away and tomorrow is set to be sunny and 'warm'(
). To the north of us the snow was said to be in blizzards. It's interesting to know where this snow is coming from - Eric's is presumably down from the Alps but NW Europe ought to be getting it straight from Siberia - so why is it missing most of England but landing in the Netherlands? Are you purloing ours?
It is a sure sign of enhanced climate change that our (current) part of the world was notorious for grinding to a halt every winter and this was one of our reasons for moving here .... yet in the ten or more years that we've lived here we've only had
one decent load of snow (sufficient for a toboggan run on the local golf course
) and that only lasted one day. It stayed longer up on the moors but really snow has now become as rare here as it was in London (where I had
one serious, extended period of snow over twenty years
).
Enjoy it while you have it!

Last year we only had one day of snow and that was 8th February, but three years back we had loads in March, which lasted for three weeks, we were upto our knees in it. The Dutch love snow and take it all in their stride and are usually well prepared.
I saw in a post that today Ericrovve woke up this morning to snow and bird prints (nice picture). Will this be the start of a few months of snow in your part of France?
So how are the rest of you faring?
