Britain’s Big Freeze
The snow and cold weather grips the nation, with temperatures falling as low as -17C in some areas. Britains’ big freeze of 2010 is quite a contrast to other years when temperatures were so mild that a stroll along the beach was a pleasant experience. Today we stay huddled up indoors to keep warm, fires or central heating on and only a few brave folk venturing out on the nearly empty roads. Many main roads round here are passable, but require caution and very slow speeds, however, the minor roads are really treacherous. Ice is the main problem causing both people and cars to skid.
Extremes – Summer/Winter
Cold Weather
The cold weather is here to last for a few more days, so the weathermen tell us, creating problems for many citizens around the British Isles. This weather has not only hit Britain but also many countries in the northern hemisphere, France, Norway, Spain and central Europe to name a few, whilst the mediterranean countries enjoy warmer weathe than usual. I personally don’t remember us here in our part of the country having such a long, cold spell for many years. As a child we used to have winters like this, but over the past 20years or so winters round here have been reasonably mild. Is this the ‘extremes’ that we were warned about with the coming of the global warming?
