OH NO! NOT MORE SNOW?

OH NO! NOT MORE SNOW? 

More snow is forecast across the middle of the UK today and into the weekend. Although you might think that it’s a little bit late for the white stuff don’t feel too hard done by.

The UK gets on average 33 days of snow fall or sleet a year.  Most of this is snow falling on higher ground where temperatures are lower. The snow sticks on the ground a lot less often with an average of only 16.6 days a year.

Did you know that on 2 June 1975 snow showers forced the abandonment of several cricket matches across the country? The snowiest winter of the twentieth century in the United Kingdom was 1947. Between 22 January and 17 March snow fell every day somewhere in the country. The most disastrous avalanche in the United Kingdom occurred in Lewes, East Sussex on 27 December 1836. Several houses were destroyed.

So it’s not all that uncommon to see a white Easter, we suggest that you turn up the heating and put the sun lotion back in in the cupboard. Put the kettle on and make yourself a nice brew, maybe treat yourself to a nice new teapot or mug we have lots to choose from at Rubberduckz.co.uk. I know that link was a bit tenuous but it’s late and I’m desperate.
