Global Warming?

Well us Brits cannot help ourselves when it comes to talking about the weather and our media goes in to full hype mode with lurid headlines “Arctic Blast to hit the UK” etc.. however we have just had the coldest November night since records begun (-8 in our garden at 9.00am this morning) and a walk in the Park this morning gave the most bizarre experience of leaves still falling but on 2” of snow.  With a forecast of severe snow for tonight we have just tried to go to the next village of Winterton to stock up on milk etc and I don’t believe I’m saying this but we had to turn back – the hill up to Winterton was completely undriveable with 3-4 cars already stuck and visibility down to a few metres as the flakes falling  were so thick - so here’s the photos I took on the way just to prove I’m not in media hyper mode.

What a difference an hour can make –the first two taken this morning, the rest taken this afternoon!

  1. Beautiful photos. It is unusual to see so many golden leaves still on the trees with all the snow below.
