Prolonged Cold Snap (UK)

It began before xmas and still has a grip on us and is believed by some to be set to last all of January.

I'm just happy we finally got some decent snow, we got six inches today and it is snowing again now, thing is it causes so many problems and people get hurt.

What are your experiences of the weather like, what problems have you had and do you know of anyone who could use some positive or healing thoughts at the moment because of it.

Its just started to rain here, gutted!!

Lee.

Almost 60 degrees F here. Going to work in a t-shirt and no coat. But, in the south-east of the country it is COLD. It hasn't been above freezing in over a week, with lows a few degrees above 0 F.

Speaking of which....Carolyn is right in the middle of it. I wonder how she is doing with it?

Hope she's ok, it rained here but is snowing again

we got more snow

You know, they say that, as the Greenland ice sheets melt, the gulf stream will continue to slow, decreasing the amount of warm water reaching the United Kingdom, resulting in weather closer in line with that of Canada...or maybe worse.

So has ours now, just the big heaps dotted here and there and the deceased snowmen

The UK government needs to pull it's socks up and take a look at how those countries manage such conditions, our PM said they didn't know this was coming, I don't know why as everyone else did, it was on the weather too, they just don't like spending money it is ridiculous how such a small amount of snow (an inch) can bring the country to a standstill. It's like everything else here they don't take action until tragedy happens, they should be taking action to prevent tragedy. Where's me soapbox

It will become more and more difficult for countries to prevent or lessen the difficulties to come. We have been weakened by complacency, and do not have the resources to cope with what is coming. The governments know this already, but are unable to design a plan to cope with something of the magnitude of what is coming.

Google United States internment camps. This may shed some light on how the U.S. is planning on coping with the upcoming problems.......

I bet they create a special tax for it..we already pay the water board for the rain that runs off our roofs as it is their drains which take it away

You have GOT to be kidding!

Nope, apparantly it's included in the water charges, this is 'rip off britain' you know........

Here they charge us sewage for watering our yards. They can't seem to figure out that the water soaks into our yards and not down the drains.

They'll create charges for anything won't they (them not you)

More snow on the way...

it never materialised

I see snowflakes out of the window...

oooh please send me some

Saturday morning - snowed in again !

We have had about 3 inches of snow.
I was sitting with a lady yesterday.
When I arrived at 5pm it was rain and sleet.
When I left at 8pm, my car was a white mound.
It snowed again overnight.
At the moment the sun is shining and the snow it melting.

The weather sounds so grand! I go to work every evening in a t-shirt. Nice and warm with only a sprinkle of rain.

I love the snow, but it's rare we get any decent stuff I can't imagine wearing just a T shirt in January it's one of our coldest months:flo:

It is for us, also.....

What's the coldest it gets there Allen? Do you get snow? I'm sure i've asked before...somewhere round here
