Mild and wet again, although we have had a two week interval of temperatures that go as low as -12C in parts of Britain which is unusually cold these days.
I was talking to my father about this the other day. I think it was 1947, he said, when Britain's North Sea coast froze up to a mile out - pretty much from the Thames estuary all the way up to and around Scotland and half way back down the other side to Wales on the Irish Sea coast. Apparently it snowed pretty much continuously from December til April. Bbrrrrrrr!
I haven't been sledging for 15 years now!
