Oh, how I hope we DO NOT have snow! It is not that I hate it or anything, in fact I quite like it really, it is just that snow makes this country come to a standstill! (I think other Brits will know what I mean and agree?). We are NEVER properly prepared for it, except maybe up Scotland way, no gritters, snow ploughs, except maybe, sometimes, on motorways and big main roads, and not many people seems to know how to drive in the ice and snow, accident rates go up enormously.

This from the weather news today. Note the amount of snow they are writing about.

Plunging temperatures across the UK are bringing ice and snow to areas already suffering from recent floods. The abrupt change in the weather brought two to three inches of snow on Saturday to areas of Kent, which was among the counties worst affected by flooding earlier this week. Police said the cold snap had led to more than a dozen crashes across Kent in a matter of hours on Saturday, although none were fatal. A van slid off the A59 near York and on to a railway line below, but no-one was hurt. Inspector Mark Baldwin, of Kent Police, said main roads in the area were "a no-no". "Ideally people should not go anywhere," he said. "Wait and see what the weather is like. People are just not used to driving in the snow and they are driving really badly."
Already, hilly areas in the north of England, north Wales and Scotland have had up to five inches of snow as a result of the cold arctic air. The AA has reiterated the police warning about dangerous driving conditions. A spokesman said: "People should drive slowly and carefully and be cautious of black ice, particularly if they are going out early."

If we do get some, there will be one happy dog here! Although he hasn`t seen much of it in his life, of what he has seen Bob just loves!! The other morning there was just a dusting of it and he was getting so excited at seeing the white stuff on the grass in the front I had to let him out to it.
