Winter In UK

Christmas in 2010
Christmas hasn't been white for a long long time. People thought this time it will be nice and cozy Christmas as good old days but it is much too early to predict so. However, the disruption to transport system is inevitable and flights, trains and road transports are affected despite  regular gritting on the main roads.
    I live around Woking and the picture above tells you the story of snow early this December. Needless to say  the schools were closed for a couple of days and the roads and streets were a bit too quiet for Christmas shopping. Then again, it is mid December and the snow shower has interrupted the regular commuters. This time people are taking it as its face value.
Warnings were in place before the snowfall and yet people decided to be adventurous and did travel to meet their loved ones. 

UK weather in 2013
It is strange but true, people have not witnessed such cold draft and frosty nights since 1969. There is little hope to see real spring in March - April this year. Unlike last year when at this time one could see the bright sun and blooming daffodils all around.
