Snow is being a nightmare in the whole UK this week - we don't cope very well, and it's the worst conditions for 18 years - roads, railways, airports closing all over the place, and 3,000 schools...
Yep, Clave's right. It's not so much the actual snow but, Britain being damp, we get lots of ice, with a thin covering of snow on top. Result - chaos!
The temperature where I am at the moment is -4, which is cold enough for the UK, and made worse by a strong cold wind during the day. Not as bad as where some of you guys are, but when it comes suddenly, we feel it!
Its about 30 here now but it got to 46 eariler... Still blowing a gale. Theres a big fire to our south-west, unfortunately thats exactly where the wind is coming from. We've been told to expect heavy smoke and ember attack so its going to be a long night!
Seeing a lot of lightning around then peninsula where I live at the moment, fingers cross there isn't any strikes. Its all timber dry dense bush, perfect fuel.
