That was PATHETIC in comparison with what the Siberian children have at
this very same time of year.

That all said though, that day brought us some three days of lying
snow, hence the snowiest November, for my area, anyway, since 1996, so
I am not complaining.:-) ****ed off, hell, yeah. But not complaining
THIS time.

I think your expectations of the British climate are somewhat unrealistic
as regards snow!

Whereabouts in the country are you?

Ah, "Col", the man(?) who always posts after me, without fail.;-)

I think your expectations of the British climate are somewhat
unrealistic
as regards snow!

But very much realistic regarding Slavs.:-)

Whereabouts in the country are you?

The North-West, just east of the Pennines. We tend to miss out on BOTH
north-westerlies AND easterlies, although December 1995, February 1994,
and the other great, undoubtedly Scandinavian-induced events of the
last two or three decades have been quite kind of Huddersfield.
However, the 1999 - or was it 2000? - easterly produced pathetic WET
SNOW here and heavy snow for Brian Gaze and co. down in the South-East.
Hence, my big fear is that, with north-westerlies, like now, hardly
EVER delivering, easterly outbreaks may have lost their key "touch" or
edge in recent years. Maybe they are just not getting this far inland?

October(!) 2000 and February 2001 were good for north-westerly/easterly
outbreaks respectively though.:-)

Are you really in Huddersfield (North West?)?
I lived just over the hill in Penistone for 8 years until a year ago and
compared to other parts of the country, I think you have little to complain
about.
Get your bike out, take a tent and spend a weekend on Holme Moss!

Yes. I am "*really* in Huddersfield (North West?)"

Maybe. But I am used to December 1995/February 1994/etc.-type events.
(In fact, you know what I SHOULD - by rights! - be used to, but I will
not go down that particular road again. It is becoming patronising.)

Personally, 2003 and 2004 were rubbish here. 2004, for example, saw two
LIGHT snowfalls, which both soon cleared away, and 2003 likewise, plus
+ just 1 more prolonged wintry period, but still with fairly
underwhelming snow when in direct comparison with the 1990s - even the
1980s for that very matter! - plus 2001. 2002 bears not thinking about,
does it, Mr. Presutti, Mr. Partridge, Mr. Woodcock, Mr. Sarre? No.

Remember, you live on a HILL, I live on a SLIGHT SLOPE. That said,
however, it just goes up to the Castle Hill area - which did very
well out of 2003, I must concede, if not actually me.:-(

Get your bike out, take a tent and spend a weekend on Holme Moss!

I go hillwalking regularly. A friend of mine in Holmfirth - although I
did not actually see it - reported "sledgeable" 4 inches of snow up
that way!:-o

I wonder how much this weekend will deliver?

You probably need to move to Buffalo, New York; at least for the winter
months.

It would put rather a hole in his theory that capitalism means little
snow.

I think that was the first time I've ever replied to one of your posts!

But you don't live in Slavia any more.......

Huddersfield would never be described as being in the 'North-West'.
