Well i can tell u that here in Essex its currently snowing ... whether it will settle of not i don't know but its coming down quite fast. The temp is 3°C and its felt pretty damn cold for a few days now.

Every blade of grass has its angel that bends over it and whispers, 'Grow, grow.'

I live on a hill so I'm safe as .....houses!

that island in the thames estuary...hmmmm i hope MJ is high enough up or maybe on the bridge,flooding can be nastie nasty...

Oh dear...are you ever going to get summer again? Just before I came back to SA in Dec 06, the rhoddie's starting flowering and perhaps the seasons are a bit confused? I've not been to the East Coast much apart from Edinburgh and Inverness-shire. Does the east coast get snow easier/more frequent? As the west coast taking the brunt for storms, or have I got it completely wrong?

We even had snow near London this morning...British weather, eh?!

London under water? That isn't such a bad idea

Hey Ed,

That's only because you live on a hill. But the British hills aren't that high at all, so I'd start looking for the next highest hillock around...

I doubt I'll ever get affected where I am. The worst affected areas are always central to the rivers. The same old "its terrible how we get flooded" yet they live next to a river.

The greatest danger to lower england is not so much the rivers but the danger from tidesurge backing them up..
