There WILL Be A White Christmas

22nd December 2013

...probably if you live on top of one of the hills in Buxton or on Ben Nevis.

I do hope so though - nothing better than that first day of snow!!! I still get so excited.  :D 

Bing Crosby's dreams look set to come true this year as forecasters predict a white Christmas across the UK.


The heavy winds, rain and flooding which have battered the nation in recent weeks are set to continue right up to December 25.

But on Christmas Eve, temperatures will plummet, leaving some parts of the country covered in snow by morning - albeit a light dusting.

Eddy Carroll, chief forecaster with the Met Office, said: 'We can expect stormy weather in many areas to start the Christmas week, but looking forward to Christmas Eve and Christmas Day we are expecting it to turn colder, with a mix of wintry showers and sunny spells but for wind speeds to drop.

'So there is a chance that some places may see a White Christmas.'

I also look forward to the BBC sending a "journalist" to one of those hills in Buxton to show us how "everybody" is suffering (even though hardly any bu66er lives up there).

"the gritters are out in force" and "they're down to their last few tons".

Blah blah.

Looks lovely, menace for those who can't get round well.

So we hear every year sassy and no doubt it's true but i'm sure it's better than it was 50 - 100 years ago and well, it's nature - we can't stop the weather.


I'll be doing my bit to help though.

Doesn't it get a bit milder when it snows?

...Well Dr Shipman...The poor elderly might welcome a bit of snow at Xmas...They might be able to take off one or two layers of clothing, or at least the blanket!

Far too mild here at the moment. Probably just rain as usual
