“Heaviest snow in 20 years” says the Times
I guess the saying for Candlemas Day was wrong: winter is still there and the snow hasn’t stopped falling, causing severe disruption in the whole region.
We’ve moved from the south of France to Bristol last year with our prejudices regarding the weather. We were expecting a lot of rain, very few sunny days and above all, no snow at all. It appears that we were completely wrong ! We’ve had many sunny days last summer, it’s not raining that much and snow won’t stop falling since the beginning of the week…
Bristol is normally one of the warmest and sunniest cities in the UK. Situated in the south of the country, it is partially sheltered by hills (Exmoor and Mendip Hills) but exposed from the Bristol Channel, so with quite a lot of rain.
According to Wikipedia, snow is a “rare occurence” in Bristol, though not impossible.
These pictures were taken this morning in St George Park.
However, I know the best thing to do with this kind of weather: go for a walk in the snow and then cook a delicious cauliflower curry!
Enjoy!
