A chill wind

Well it looks like winter has finally arrived here in Blighty. Sort of. This morning we have snow. To be more accurate, it's like someone has run round the streets with a bag of icing sugar and given everywhere the lightest dusting imaginable. So it's not exactly skiing weather but it is only the second time in the whole winter that the temperature has actually dropped to normal levels.

Weird. I suppose it's indicative of the ever-popular global-warming and if you think about it, it's hard to ignore. I've only had to scrape ice off my car twice since winter began. That's unheard of. In the newspaper the other day, they reported that the re had been a number of nighttime temperatures in December that were warmer than June, which is really bonkers.

Then we've been having all these stormy weeks full of wind and rain with 11 people being killed in the UK the other week as a direct result of the weather. Yet, until today, we've had no snow, ice or even cold temperatures for the whole of January. Surely that's not right.

Who'd be a snowman?
