TheTwirler Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Would it be more helpful if the title was changed to 'winter weather' 14/15 thread as there is usually far more than snow that can impact on the country at this time of year, might be worth including wind, flooding etc under this umbrella. Doesn't look like we'll be getting snow this time but the signs point towards a blocking pattern occurring and some severe cold weather in Jan and Feb. Could be disruptive.

Like winter fuel payments, freezing rain making all surfaces like glass and potentially snow which will mean you can't get your car off your drive for a while.

Fudbeer Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Be careful particularly if you have recently re-surfaced paths. Just been out and its like an ice rink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
