Mind you if it is the worst in 100 years it is going to be a belter - I am
not quite as mature as some of the more senior posters but I remember the
(I think) '63/'64 winter in Essex where the snowdrifts were huge!

ISTR it was predicted that it would be the worst this century...

AFAIK they have just stopped putting up the snow fences alongside the A14
to stop drifting (which they started doing after a really sever winter in
the early '90s) so Murphy's law suggests that we are due for another hard
winter.

No, Murphy's Law applies to aircraft parts. it's Sod's Law you're
thinking of. And applying Sod's Law you'd expect no more drifting snow
until the fences fall down, or it to drift east-west, or something quite
unexpected, like it all dropping in a ribbon over the A14 innit.

After which they will put up snow fences for another 10 years, then.....

Now where did I put my snow chains?

#Jingle chains, jingle chains,
In the crisp deep snow:
Stranded cars in all the lanes,
You still cannot go!

Nyaa - nyaaa - nye-nyaaa - nyaaaaa
