If a single snowflake falls, all schools will immediately close.
This amounts to a national tradition now. However, there is always one holdout school (generally somewhere mad like mid-Wales or the Cairngorms) that insists on staying open, even though the kids have to be dug out from snowdrifts in the playground.
I go to that one holdout school, though we aren't in mid-Wales.
It will fall as low as 3 degrees in many areas and there may even be snow over northern hills.
Are you ready for this extreme weather?
Are you nonchalant? Will you be huddling up?
Things you will need.
* Shovels, grit, warm gloves and warm coat
* Husky team - public transport generally halts after the first flurry of snow
* Extra supplies of milk and digestives
* Large selection of DVDs - it will be impossible to leave home
******* YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED *********
This was a TSR public service announcement. Do not engage in unnecessary panic. Engage in necessary panic.
Thanks for the PSA.
I'm a bit concerned as later this week I have to be in Aberdeen. Not so concerned about the snow more concerned over fog as that does affect take-offs and landings.
Other times, not too worried about public transport, have a Land Rover with good winter tyres
Shovel and grit? What for?
Digestive biscuits and milk?? Why?? Waitrose won't be closed.
Am actually looking forward to a cold winter, not had a chance to test out how good our new heating and insulation at home is.
I'm planning on going to Harbin, in northeast China over my winter break where the average high in January is -12ºC and can even get as low as -24ºC!

Better start taking more Vit C supplements to boost your immune system That place is notorious for some of the nastiest flu bugs that time of the year.

Sounds even better! I'll just have to pack my suitcase full of oranges
Especially the young ones, which are more tender. Of course, if you have a horse, you can hollow it out and shelter inside it, like Napoleon's armies in Russia.

I suppose that's an ancient tradition. Hollow out a carcass for warmth and eat the meat.
