Hi Everyone
First post of the season and hopefully a busy winter ahead.Last year I said not to be too down in the mouth as the very warm spell we were having around mid December would definately change for the better come Mid Jan and it did !
I reckon the same act this year - unsettled and above average until around 21/1 then 'the ropes on the elevator are going to snap" - your'e going to need a snow plough just to clear your roof

you never know !!
Taken from this site about famous British Winters
Serious snowfall events happen rarely, but when they come, the UK normally isn't prepared!
One such winter was 1947. From January 22nd to March 17th, snow fell every day, somewhere in the UK! The snow accumulated quickly, causing real problems. The temperatures rarely rose more than a degree or 2 above 0! Several of these snowfalls where of 60cm or more, and depths of level snow amazingly reached 1.5m (150cm) in Upper Teesdale and the Denbighshire Hills. Across the UK drifts of more than 5 metres in depth blocked roads, and affected traffic. The armed services were brought in, to drop supplies to people in danger, trapped in their homes due to blocked roads and railways.
The strangest thing about 1947, was the first part of the winter was very mild, with only 2 failed cold spells...The weather in fact, turned unseasonably mild for a time. On the 15th January, the temperature in Leeming, North Yorkshire, didn't fall below 11.7c, and rose to 14c the next day in parts of Norfolk, Herefordshire, and Flintshire. This soon changed.

Very Light snow here in Wolves - not amounting to much pretty for the photographers but naff for us kids ( at heart anyway)

Rain here in New Invention (Wolves / Walsall border) - looks like typical August day wet and murky

Just back in after a few good hours out enjoying the snow with my daughter - felt like I'd knocked a zero off my age and back to 5 again instead of 50 !! fantastic memories backwards, today and future looking back to today.

That would be the mould on the glasses mate there is no way you can claim that the beer in there has any sort of head on it
Wasn't offered a glass mate - only had buckets available - training in holding objects comes in next year's government handouts .

The last time I saw this much white stuff it was on the top of warm Norton Vic pint.
