Continual Autumn
"Joe" wrote in message ... Hello Does anyone think that over the past decade or so, all we've had is three months of late autumnal weather: Cool daytime temps, slight frosts at night, and the odd bit of snow. I long for a proper winter, of snow and ice lingering for weeks maybe even months, with ice on the inside of windows. Though I don't think we'll get another proper winter again with global warming. :-( Joe Wolverhampton I've thought this, yes. (for what its worth). |

We had ice on the inside of the windows when I was very young, but double glazing fixed that! (central heating helped as well but that came later) Though I don't think we'll get another proper winter again with global warming. :-( Joe Wolverhampton -- Five Cats Email to: cats_spam at uk2 dot net |

I couldn't get over the A57 Snake Pass to Manchester on Tuesday night, and there was no more than a couple of cm of snow, but it had frozen solid, become glazed over and polished. A couple of cars/lorries spun in the road and that was that - road blocked. - Michael |
