Default Severe Weather warning


"Snow fatigued" - I'd never thought I'd hear that any time soon! But,
yes, all this snow is starting to get a bit boring (although quite a
few of my friends keep pestering my for more!).

No stamina, the youth of today. You should have tried living through
1962-3.

My memory of the 62/63 winter was that after the initial falls of snow it
was dry a lot of the time but with a persistent NE to E wind off the
continent and temperatures remained close to freezing during the day. It had
a devastaing effect on bird populations which took a number of years to
recover.

I'm surprised to see no comments on the Severe Weather warning issued
today:

http://www.meto.gov.uk/weather/europe/uk/warnings.html



John, I saw it up on the Met O web site earlier - but considered the fact
that it was snowing this morning over quite of the UK with only the usual
reportees on the ng - decided we were all getting a bit snow fatigued - so
didnt mention it!

I didnt even mention the moderate snow (for a while) here at Guildford - or
the fact that it has snowed here for 9 consecutive days - something back at
the beginning of January we would have considered pretty unlikely these
days.



In Godalming, the commuting couple three doors up reported that it
snowed every morning last week. Don't think we had any today[1/3].
Smidges Sat/Sun. Certainly did on evening of Monday 28/2. Car battery
hibernated.

John mentions warning for Wednesday when I'm meant to be at the
Compasses in Alfold that evening. We shall see.
