...of a "new" Ice Age...
Snow has become a novelty in Britain during Winter over the last 20/30 years...the norm seems to have become wet winters, cold winters and on the odd occasion, mild winters; but for the last three years we have had snow in Winter, across the WHOLE country...I'm not just talking a light dusting either, it's "country grinding to a halt" kinda snowfall {mind you, that's not actually hard to achieve as this country, whilst proud of "pulling together", seems to grind to a halt very easily!}
For our part of the country in particular, we have had a Red weather warning for snow...not a usual occurance...the last was in 2010 when this happened
