The same but different!
This winter looks as though it may be the same as last winter with some differences.
Last winter the cold weather started in December but this winter it's started in November. Last winter it was cold but this winter it's colder. It was below zero Fahrenheit in Wales a few days ago and the temprature in one of Amanda's greenhouses was around 22F so probably about 20F outside.
A few days ago they had 14 inches of snow overnight in Northumberland and a lot of the country has had snow in varying degrees except us. 
This morning we had snow. Not enough to make it really discernable on the ground, which was already covered in frost, but snow in November nontheless. 
Just 10 miles north of us they had an inch of snow.
I remember that when we made our first trip to London last April it was on the first nice day we'd had for months.
What will next year bring?

Doesn’t sound good over there! Here its warm enough to melt what little snow cover we have. High tomorrow is 56 with rain at night. High Wednesday 60 with rain? Seems our weather has switched with your “normal” weather?
Could be interesting winter

We woke up to two inches of snow this morning and it’s still snowing yet in Harwich, about 25 miles north of us, it’s apparently raining.
What next we ask ourselves?
UPDATE: Make that 6 inches of snow now!

Look at it this way – you should have a white Christmas
I checked some sites in the UK the past 2 days. All say delivery would be delayed due to severe weather. Doesn’t sound good.
My weather is pretty much like yours, Old Guy, mid 40s today and supposedly 50 tomorrow with rain late in the day.

Is this really unusual weather? On average, is 6 inches of snow considered a lot? I know this may seem like a silly question, but 6 inches is normal around here. I know that Old Guy would agree. We are used to this and have the equipment to handle it.
I hope Barry and Amanda have lots of books to get through the winter

Snow in December is unusual and snow in November is almost unheard of. We think we have a lot if it gets to two inches.
Our winters are not normally very cold. We do get a run of frosty mornings sometimes and the odd sprinkling of snow and that’s about it but the sort of temperatures we had last winter and are also getting this winter are very unusual.
We have a lot of books and then there’s the computer to play with (well four actually).
