    Where I am there is not THAT much snow but what there is is getting blown into drifts by the strong winds. Been at around 12m/s three days straight! Grrr.
    Some places are worse effected than others. Have heard some largish snow drifts here and there. In Denmark there is a disappointing trend for larger and more open fields. As smaller fields get bought up the first to go are the hedgerows and trees. Many fields are also open to the roads, so when it's windy there is nothing to break the wind anymore. The way our house sits, between fields no matter what way the wind blows we get it. (more so when it snows as well).

      Snow in Cotswold would look picturesque and 20 degrees is really nice.

      Recently we had a spot of cool temperature for two days at 21 degrees and everyone started wearing cardigans for those not used to this kind of thing. We're more towards mid 30's and higher nearly constantly and now the Chinese New Year weather is on us at 38 degrees straight...my lotus leaves are burnt.

      Cheers,
      Richard

        We've had a bit of snow here in Rugby. Quite funny watching the muppets trying to drive up the hill outside our house - either going so slowly they lose momentum or trying to go so quickly they lose control. We've had one go up on the pavement outside our house, trying to take the corner as if the road was dry, and another hit the kerb so hard she burst her tyre. The number of people who seem to think that when the wheels spin they have to stand on the throttle is amazing!

          Not surprising Pete. I tried to explain to my wife about how to use the gears to control torque and traction and she looked at me like I was barmy. No mechanical insight whatsoever!

                        We had snow two days running here in south Lincs, cold , frost every night. Snow about 50 to 70 mm thick .Roads now clear, but a sharp frost will catch out the unwarey.
