The "worst snow in a decade" apparently.

Sporadic Sparkly

An Amber weather warning for heavy snow has been issued for the UK region where I live, which is due to come into effect tonight. According to a BBC News article, it will be the worst snow in my region for a decade. The local weather forecast for the town where I live states there will be heavy snow between 10pm and midnight, making me inclined to think that it probably won't be the "worst" snow in a decade in my particular area of the region. Therefore, I'm anticipating that I will probably be left feeling underwhelmed.

The "worst" snow (or best snow) I remember was in January 1982, when I was living in South-East Wales. It had snowed for 36 hours, and as a young child I thought it was wonderful.

  • In recent years I’ve found that the weather reports often overstate how bad the weather is really going to be. On several occasions we’ve cancelled our plans due to reports of upcoming bad weather and it’s turned out to be nowhere near as bad as they were predicting. Looking at the temperatures over the course of today and tomorrow I don’t think the snow will be that bad, and I think it will soon clear too. We’ll see! I love the snow as long as I don’t have to drive anywhere. I darent drive in the snow at all.
