I've just got back from Prague where there is an increasing amount of snow but here in Mid Beds, virtually none!

This country is snow obsessed!

trust me its more frustrating when you have to dig your car out every morning and dig it back in again every night

and inbetween time you've got to avoid all the idiots on the roads

1963, I remember it well. My mum took me for a walk in the snow down to Felpham (West Sussex) Sea Front. My mum let me play on the snow on the stones on the beach.

The trouble was I actually playing on thee snow on the Ice that had frozen over the Sea. I know this because I went through the Ice up to my knees and the water was to me still a further 2 to 3 metres away. It was a bit cold that winter.

It all depends on that Chinese Quantum Butterfly.

It actually depends on the jet stream which moved recently, if it stays where is it, which it may well do, then we could have this weather for rest of the winter.

I remember that winter, I was 10 years old. My old man was in the army and we had just returned from a tour of duty in Singapore. Wasn't nice at the time but no colder than winters today. Global warming? I think not.

Was I the only one expecting this tread to be about presidential assasinations?
