HI!My home town used to get snow, many happy winters on the downs, then it went snow-less for years..then one year happily told my now hubby that we don't get snow and we had half a foot and that was in later in the year as well!. Same with thunderstorms - loads when i was young -nothing- then the imports started and last one we had the drains couldn't cope and i almost had a flood in my bathroom.
Roll on years later and i have noticed with great annoyance that where i live now, the storms look like they go out of their way not to hit, I don't think i've had a true direct hit yet.Take yesterday, cloud all around and a circle of brilliant sunshine. Where I used to work, amazing storms, but a phone call home and nothing but sun.
Gah....
