I couldn't go to school today because of snow, there was a car crash at the roundabout near where I live and no traffic was moving.
I hope we don't get another winter like last year. -_-

It should stay like this for another say 3-4 years, which is good because it makes some epic ice climbing routes, but bad because the UK as a whole doesn't know how to deal with snow and ice and ends up in chaos.

It's part of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), which occurs roughly every 20-30 years, and lasts for around 4-5 years. This is probably why your parents say, "We used to have snow like this all the time when we were kids" - it's because they did :smile:

1 Britain can't cope with snow
2 British snow is 9 out of 10 times is slush once you go a bit south...
3 I hate snow in UK - I live 1 bus + 1 train + 1 20 min walk from college...
Did you even see a real snow to say such things about it ...

some nostalgic for me photos....

I don't trust the weatherman. We were meant to get snow everyday for a week, they finally say we won't an two days later we have more snow than we've had in 20 years and they didn't forecast it :p:

The winters on the west coast of Norway suck, haha.

That snow lasted for about 24 hours. It has all rained away now.

- the first time that rainfall will be openly welcomed!! I can see grass and trees and the countryside landscape again!

Why the neg rep? Because I hate snow..... I am not the only one? Is someone out to get me?

It's forecast for London and South East at least (I haven't looked at other regions) http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/se/se_forecast_weather.html (from day 3 to 5, and also mentioned under 6-15 and 16-30)
