Bounty - Manea is familiar to me but a bit too far out. Us townies are reluctant to stray too far into the hinterlands around here. There are too many stories of red eyes, webbed feet and unions within the family!

Yesterday we had four inches of snow in town. By 6pm it had gone due to heavy rain and hail. This morning we have an inch of snow again and more expected. I hate it.

Your not the only one chuck.

I have my own method of getting rid of snow, I talk alot. Which creates hot air and scares the snow clouds away.

It snowed in London on and off yesterday but nothing settled. But it snowed at home in Bexleyheath and did a little bit of settling. No sign of any snow in London this morning though. It said on London Today that it was going to settle in London....might have to leave work early if it does

It almost never snows in Nottingham. Seriously, if it does - it stays for about an hour and it's gone. The last time it seriously snowed here was December 10th 1990. It was so bad it brought down power lines and even some pylons as it was really sticky (type B snow) combined with strong winds. Some places were without power for five days.

Before that you have to go back to January 7th 1987. That was the coldest day ever in Nottingham - 17 °C. It snowed a couple of days earlier and snowed continuously for about a day and a half. There was snow lying around for about 10 days.

But for really serious snow you need to look at the winter of 1981 - 82 when there was lying snow for weeks on end. That was also the year that the record low temperature was set in the UK - 26.1 °C at Newport Shropshire.

Before that I guess it was 1963 and 1947. Looking at that periodicity we are WELL overdue a really bad winter.
