All the ice went on Thursday - Monday's cold weather is a distance memory now.

Re: Winter

There was a bit of sun coming out yesterday - unbelievable that only 48 hours before it was snowing.

Re: Winter

I didn't hear lightning, and I don't think that I would have been fully asleep at that time.

Re: Winter

I was woken up by flash of lightning and a few rumbles of thunder and heavy downpours at 4am

I wondered how long it would be before the Dennis the Menace storm would be nicknamed - the Daily Star was one of the first to pick up on that one!

The calm before the next storm

Re: Winter

Why is it this country is not prepared for snow with school closures cancellations of transport whilst other countries continue to run their transport go to school.I went to school in the snow in primary school.I remember it always snowed on St David's day,by the way my cold is back

Probably because we are not used to snow in this country as other countries are - the fact that most children live within the catchment area of their school makes it easy to get there even in snowy weather as they probably only live a few streets away. On the other hand, teachers probably live several miles out and so therefore it would be a bit more of a challenge to get to the school, and don't forget that they are the main people who keeps a school functioning. Caretakers and Site Managers often live on the premises, and so it wouldn't be a problem to get there and investigate any burst water pipes or no power.
