Snow in the UK

[stotty]

Well we have had it good here in the UK and Essex has been good this year but looked out the window this morning at 5.30 am all ok then went to go to work at 6.00 am by 8.00am they had closed the schools and the county roads were un-drivable good old English planning They have been warning us about this for a week. Well the white cat has here pink collar on as this time of year can be a bit hazardous if you’re a white cat in snow .

Yea we dont get a lot of snow in the UK (less you live in northern scotland) anymore, couple of days a year at most. So it's nice. I know people who still have never seen snow so its cool, they are loving it.

what is the average temperture there? Here is what it looks like here in New York...it has snowed every day for the past two weeks and some towns are in an emergency status because they have received 10 feet of snow in a week.. { these are apple trees}

Not sure on average temps to be honest. Think it was getting to minus 3 at night time i remember hearing. Stotty has had more than where i am. We have had two days worth of snow. I'm not old enough to remember the old snow days in britain where there would be a few feet worth. Things have changed. A lot of hedgehogs (and i would imagine other native wildlife) hasn't been doing too well, because a lot of things have come out of hibernation due to the extremely mild winter we've had, and a lot are now dying in the frosts we've had past couple of weeks. I bet this snow weather has not helped a bit. Hope the adders haven't woken up yet.
