It has been really warm all winter

[cessna152towser]

On the South coast of England not far from the sea the temperature has not been all that low, but rain has been heavy and persistent.

We have had several weather warnings of forecasted snow to accumulate to significant depths here in Southern Scotland, even to the extent we stocked up on extra foodstuffs, but it has all fallen as rain, rain and more rain, and when the rain stops for a bit, it freezes on the wet ground making it dangerous to venture out. I am heartily sick of these bleak January days with their grey skies during the short hours of daylight. Oh for the blue skies of Canada!
