Because I use 365 days as a rough guide. This isn't meant to sound as condescending as it undoubtedly will. There is winter at the beginning, then spring like weather, then the summer, then autumn, then the 2nd winter. Sometimes there is a bad/good/normal winter/spring/summer/autumn.
As someone...
These are the worst storms in 250 years. But not in 251 years.
My point is, there have been far far far worse weather in this country than this. For some reason we have come to belive that Britian has some kind of mild climate. Never has never will.
