Worst winter in the last 10 minutes?
Hi,
following on from all the doom laden predictions a couple of months ago we now have wall to wall news coverage of the snow (although the snow isn't giving wall to wall coverage.....). However being on the east coast of Suffolk the weather is quite nice - no frost or snow, a bit brisk but sunny between the clouds. I am starting to wonder if all the news coverage is an elaborate hoax. Shall I put my sledge back in the loft again (unused these 10 years or more)? What is it like in North Devon? We are going there next week to escape the blizzards :-) Cheers Dave R -- |

They said it's going to be bad mid-week. I take that as Wednesday. Still it's warm in my heated greenhouse. :O) |

Following up to David W.E. Roberts
I am starting to wonder if all the news coverage is an elaborate hoax. they are terrified of under reporting bad weather, we had a thin coating last night (London). -- Mike Reid Wasdale-Thames path-London-photos "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Eat-walk-Spain "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

A bit OT: I had 7" in the top of the car this morning, and, in fact everywhere, but then I sort of expected it where I live ;-) It still took me ages to clear the drive. -- Tim C. |

I waited 'til it was over and got on with planting the onions. Andy. -- |

The 'chaos' headlines from the UK apparently give much amusement to Alpine
and other areas used to snow. In reality I don't think there really is much chaos, just perhaps a lack of imagination from our media. Paul |

Paul You haven't seen the chaos in Austria the day of a heavy fall after a snow-free period have you? ;-) We had 7" here overnight in the lowlands and there were cars in the ditches every 2 miles on the way to work this morning. They should be used to it by now. The chaos is the same, only the Austrians need a bit more snow for it to happen, but happen it does. -- Tim C. |

It's definitely snowing in Cambridge at the moment - has been snowing three times since first thing, when everything was covered with a thin layer of snow that melted after the sun came up. It stopped in the time it took to type that paragraph :-) It's nice and sunny in Cambridge at the moment... Theo |

@individual.net: What is it like in North Devon? We are going there next week to escape the blizzards :-) My mum says no snow with her yet (Shirwell). Down here the weather has been cold but very sunny: it's a gorgeous day at the mo, though a bit chilly. There's cloud over the north end of Dartmoor, which I can just about see from hre - but it doesn't look as though it's raining up there yet.

In article , McCready
writes Still it's warm in my heated greenhouse. :O) Yes, mine too. 65 deg F in the daytime, with crocuses, daffodils, grape hyacinths, lobelia and fuchsias in flower, and big pink flowered butterworts, and the whole greenhouse scented with jasmine. A lovely oasis. -- Kay "Do not insult the crocodile until you have crossed the river" |

We have had snow, hail, rain and shine today. Not necessarily in that
order. We are fifteen miles south east of Glasgow though. Davy M. "McCready" wrote in message . uk... "David W.E. Roberts" wrote in message ...

Yea my site at Hopton was windy but cold. In sheltered areas it was rather
cosy. atm just flitting from job to job dodging the showers as we go. A snowball fight with the dancers has been arranged for Thursday though. CJ "Phil L" wrote in message . uk... David W.E.
