Severe Weather Warning: Heavy snow batters the UK

Greetings

on Monday and Tuesday, much of central England and Eastern England will be battered with snow blizzards up to 5-10cm high. However, Scotland will escape the brunt of the snow although snow is expected on Wednesday. This extreme weather is moving in from Siberia and temperatures are expected to dip down to a perishing -10 degrees Celsius. Traffic is expected to be grounded to a halt and chaos is imminent in urban areas.

I plan to kidnap several stray cats and skin them, using their fur as a blanket to save on my energy bill :holmes:

Or burn them for fuel. Not decided yet :awesome:

I bet it won't.

I mean, blow me down with a feather if we do get lots of snow (I have plenty of bread, milk, juice and fruit and veg in the house so it's all fine if we do - but no wellies! :frown:

) but I doubt it...they always get us all excited and promise snow and then it's just a bit of sleet, more likely than not while everyone's asleep.

Can't wait. I love cold days and because my college is so rural they have to close when it gets icy as the buses can't get out to the villages.

With wildcat strikes at power plants, there may be power cuts so you may want to get candles and holders in.

If it's only a dusting of snow, I'll be hugely annoyed, the amount of hype this snow has been given!
If not...then good :h:

It'll probably snow in the surrounding areas which are higher, but not much around Swansea Bay, and everything will be shut anyway, and I'll be mightily pissed off because I can't do anything and there's no snow to play in either. Boo.
