The unpredictability of the English weather has been there for many years down the ages so much so that it has even found its way into many English literary works. The pristine white blanket covering is an image that has become synonymous with English weather or Snow in London. The moment one tries to conjure up an image of the English weather the words that come to one s mind are frost, snow, gales, sleet, icy winds and that alone is enough to make one shiver even if one is sitting in a warm climate.
December 2010 started on a mild note but it wasnt long before the countrys temperature dipped 2 or 3 C below average with widespread snow fall. This continued right through the month making it a picture perfect white Christmas . A good deal of the country had snow right up to the New Year. An unusually early dumping of snow was the start of brutal weather conditions under freezing temperatures causing severe disruption of traffic leaving passengers stranded at airports and stations. With scores of flights cancelled due to poor visibility, Britain faced the heaviest snowfall in last 50 years.
After an unusual spell warm November 2011, temperatures are low and are all set to plunge some areas in snow in a matter of days. A thick cover of fog finally heralds an end to a balmy autumn and a very wintry blistering week or Snow in UK ahead is the general predictions for the winter season across UK.
London does not usually experience a heavy snowfall and if it does it is usually around late January to mid- February As a visitor you are hardly likely to see snow in London. Even if it does snow it is only about an inch and rarely lasts for 2 or 3 days.
Once you are out of London and travel towards north you are likely to witness snowfall in all its glory with the beautiful English countryside covered under thick coat of snow.
It is often said on a lighter note that no 2 days are ever the same in the Midlands.
Birmingham experiences bitter cold and harsh winters. The cold gusts of winds from the Artic and milder ones blowing from the Atlantic meet over the Midlands precipitating rain and due to freezing conditions it turns into snow in UK.
The government has already started its get ready for winter campaign in order to prepare people for winter weather. Keeping in mind the winter of 2010-11 which with a record low temperature had created travel chaos and disruption of normal life. The inclement can bring life to a halt. Thick fog which engulfed the country starting this month heralds a cold severe winter and mild to heavy snowfall in the country. As this piece is being written there is a news flash that U K first snow fell in the South Tyne Valley today but experts and forecasters insist that chances of white Christmas are slim even though it is going to be gloomy frosty English weather once again for UK folks.
