It had been forecast for more than a week, but when some real winter weather finally arrived yesterday, much of England was, as usual, totally uprepared. We got about a whopping 2 inches of snow (which fell in about 10 minutes, accompanied by thunder and lightning). And the temperature plunged to well below freezing (0 degrees C as opposed to 0 degrees F, which I think is when you can really start saying it's cold). I love this kind of weather and really miss having real winters, even though I haven't lived in cold country for 28 years now.

Also have about 6" of snow on the ground, and my car is covered with road salt. I stopped loving this a long time ago, but you're more than welcome to come over and enjoy it, if you'd like!
28 years? Jeez! Somebody's getting old.
