We’re in the Dolomites skiing. Lucked out with the weather, since Thursday in the main it hasn’t stopped snowing [following a pretty rubbish 2 months for the Alps, saved by a deep base from Nov/Dec).
On 16 January NYC had its first snow in 701 days, a record gap. The NE cities usually have several snow storms per winter with significant depths, so it had an entire winter with no snow.
Albion games Nov to Mar are incredibly uncomfortable for me, despite multiple layers and a new heated gilet, on Monday I bought 3 teas in the first half and was literally shaking. But I can ski in The Alps at -10c and I’m fine. I’m sure it’s the maritime cold and humidity here.
Always a mixed one for me, as a lifelong lover of snow and clear frosty nights. Then I have spring to look forward to, especially the garden taking shape. Always something to look forward to.
This is the first winter where I’ve felt the cold. Not in the cold spell, but the mild, damp...
Winters are getting far shorter at both ends and rapidly, you’d know that as a gardener. In some recent winters we’ve barely had an air frost. It is a legitimate question. Some winters seemed to have tailed off with mild weather in February.
Not quite a definite no snow yet.
BBC for Eastbourne, 41% chance, this might equate to snow on the South Downs/away from the seafront.
