Egluntyne Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Definite sting in the rain today. If the temp drops a couple of degrees I shouldn't be at all surprised if it started to snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlottechicken Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Definite sting in the rain today. If the temp drops a couple of degrees I shouldn't be at all surprised if it started to snow. I just nipped out in the car this morning and I'd swear some of the rain lashing down on the windscreen was actually a bit floaty and SNOW looking. It is rather biting here as well (5 degrees), just glad the food shopping is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 my daughter's just home from school (edge of london) - she has a letter from the hgead explaining how they all got caught in the blizzard as they walked back to the coach from swimming - several children were blown off their feet - and she's quite shaken up.. mind you - she has just been in to ask if she can have some chocolate - because, she says.. "chocolate is supposed to be quite good if you've had a shock!" the london tornado was in Kensall Rise - not far from where I once lived - Kilburn... it seems to have blown the gable end clean off a corner house!
