    It's absolutely amazing , the weather forcasters predicted snow for us
    here in the U.K last night , and by Jo they were right...they are
    prediciting , that this weekend is going to be the coldest ever ,
    colder than Russsia...-12......

    It is blowing a blizzard , even the  snows only about an 2 inchs deep at
    the moment...even that's alot for us...though they are saying there

    You think it's unbelieveable there...?
    
    This morning in New England it's 36 degrees F and raining, which
    is not really unusual....
    
    ....except that we haven't had ANY snow yet this season.
    
    Now THAT'S unbelieveable.....!   ;^] x 10000

    Tracie,
    
      I was due to go to Valbonne (south of France) for a course, starts
    Monday.   The **** weather means I can't get there (I don't fly, there are
    no trains getting from Scotland to London today/tomorrow).    I am
    displeased...
    
      Flakey weather,
    
      Alan

1121.5It's a joke, right?YUPPY::DAVIESAShe is the Alpha...Mon Dec 10 1990 11:2413
    
    RE .3
    
    I flew to Nice on Friday night - no problems.
    
    I spent the weekend out of touch with the world, and got back last
    night to lots of rain - couldn't see any snow though.
    I couldn't believe it when I started hearing about blizzards and stuff
    - it felt like the whole of the UK had conspired to play a practical
    joke on me....I hear about it, I see pictures in the newspapers,
    but I haven't seen any snow!

    Maybe with the opening of the chunnel a wicked draft has been created.
    
    Henceforce with the wind currents being adjusted to accomodate this new
    current England will forever enjoy the snow and all it's beauty. Enjoy
1121.9SOLANA::DERY_CHTue Dec 11 1990 18:129
    I'm in southern California where it's 75, sunny and dry.  I envy
    all of you who are getting rain, snow and blizzards!  I grew up
    in New England and it just doesn't seem like Christmas without having
    to scrape ice off my car!
    
    It sure would be nice to have a white Christmas this year....
    
    Happy holidays!

    I don't care what you say about New Englands four seasons! There are
    really are only three, July, August, and winter. And we pray that
    summer falls on a weekend that it doesn't rain!
1121.14TRACTR::HOGGEDragon Slayer For Hire...Crispy!Wed Dec 12 1990 15:353

    re .13
    
    Well, at least it beats northern California...Summer I (June), Summer
    II (September), Winter I (January) and Winter II (July....oh, that
    fog!).  How can you tell what season it is when the trees don't change
    color?!

    Worse then that Judi... when the maple trees in Santa Clara change
    color it's three months sooner then the ones in New England....go
    figure.

    All kidding aside. I talk to allot of folks on this 800 number in New
    England, and the basic small talk is the weather. Its fun, I get a
    laugh and the folks give me more of the local lore. Like a local in
    Michigan told me that they pray that summer falls on a weekend that
    it doesn't rain. And some on in LA once told me that the weather was
    always great, too bad we can't see it. This morning it was so cold
    here that my eye balls froze to the lids!
    
    All in fun
    George
    
    Maybe we can add an "its so cold that"......
