At least it will be some respite for 4x4 drivers who help get people to hospitals or with their groceries. The few days in the year when not having a lentil-powered electric car is acceptable.

Feck em all I say.....they all want us when the weather is and they cant get about in half an inch of snow then come the rest of the year were treated like Saturn's spawn.
I live on a hill and every year when it does snow they all abandon there cars right outside my place blocking my drive.....when they come back for them weeks later they wonder why there cars are smashed up

Lots of berries on the trees down this way (touches nose knowingly)Disco 3: Lotus Elise S1: Ferguson T20: Audi A2
Lots of berries here as well - but colour showing on azelea buds, and two wood pidgeons building a nest . . !A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.

"The Beast from the East" is a weather pattern that happens pretty much every single year and is caused by the way the jet stream moves during the different seasons. The pattern just varies in intensity - something harder or impossible to predict right now.
Might as well just have said "this December will include Christmas"!!
