At last after what seems like 5 years of constant and monotonous wet and mild weather the UK is at last experiencing a season and I think it's great! Cold and frosty snow falling clear blue winter days - i wish we had this weather every winter. It's also amusing to watch to see how we brits cope with a slightly unusual weather event. Cold weather and ice in winter???!!! we're all going to die!

Wait till 'Global Warming' kicks in and the Gulf Stream shuts off.

Watching the new "Ice Road Truckers" on Five.

That's proper sketchy driving! They don't grit the road, they ADD two inches of ice to it!

Are they paid by the weight/size of the load or by the number of trips?

Enjoying it so far. Ideally it will be followed by a very long dry summer eh?

Hopefully this cold spell will kill off alot of Midges, Slugs, Caterpillars, Ticks etc. The warm wet winters have helped them in the last few years.

I don't think the NE of Scotland has had any more snow than normal, it has only lasted over a longer period & being getting topped up, my garden is not any deeper than it has ever been.
In recent years I've had deeper snow in my garden, but has only been lying for about 2 days before it started to thaw, so yes it does seen more like a season.
