As I get older I am finding the UK winters more and more depressing and
boring and just long for some decent weather.
Each year now the same old repeated weather patterns seem to get locked in
with wind, rain and gloom with constant
flooding and damage to peoples property.
It seems that after a brief respite in the new year its back to the same old
south westerly trash pattern.
I find it very tedious here in Essex, and we are the driest, but god knows
how the people living further north manage to deal with this never ending
train of storms from the Atlantic.

Yes the climate has changed since I was a child, but I never remember
winters like the way they are now. I will not discuss
the possible causes as I do not have the answers, but it appears that
October till April now is a time to dread.

December was unseasonably warm, but no compensation for what it delivered, I
do feel that dry & cold winters are a thing of the past
and if this is the alternative I'm not too sure how we adapt to the way
things now look set.

Just a quick moan, as you may guess I'm sick of it!
