A week ago we were enjoying a lovely fall. Now this. I am not a fan of winter.

The weather people are touting that winter should begin next Wednesday in some areas of the UK despite some areas (Scotland especially) have already experienced snowfalls.

Are you sure you don't live in Kentucky?
A cousin of mine just moved from Florida to Chicago for a job. He posted they have a blizzard warning. Yes, I'm poking fun at him.

Yikes! No MC riding for you.

We did not get autumn here at all this year. It went from torrid summer to monsoon to winter. It has been raining 6 out of 7 days since early August.

The UK hardly has winters anymore and all we get are cold snaps and the first one is on the way.

Denmark's meteorological institute, have made a 3 month prediction
In this they say

The Winter will be very strict

Very cold with very little or no snow.

They have made those prediction before and from what I remember they haven't hit jackpot yet.

Really ??? where do you live in the UK ? Not Exactly a cold snap last year or have you forgot ? Amber Snow Warnings ( Stay at Home ) Remember the " BEAST FROM THE EAST"


I live almost smack bang in the middle of the custard blob as in the illustration from last year 8 inches of snow drifts up to 7 ft most parts inaccessible without 4 wheel drive ( even then some got stuck ) had this for months so lucky you The Yellow Snow is not the proverbial version incidentally

Image From M.E.N

Manchester Evening News Headline 2017 "The upgraded Met Office amber warning of snow for Sunday is in effect for Greater Manchester" " areas like Rochdale , Bolton , Oldham and Tameside will possibly see heavier snow." AND WE DID !
