bert the fert 28 Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 I dont mind a bit of snow but last year was a piss take,up north we had 3ft of snow for 5wk's which killed of all the barn owls and kestrels as they could not get to the voles and it wiped all the wren population out as well,it was that bad the sheep even struggled to walk through it and the crappy council ran out of rock salt to grit all the roads,one good thing though it sorted all the young boy racers out who have never driven in snow before who thought they could still do a million MPH,sadly a lot found out they could not and they was stuffed cars all over the country. Yup, i agree with all of the above. It was bloody hard going last winter. I must have towed dozens of stranded folk, but then i realised they were coming up here just to " experience " the deep snow FFS. Left the townies to it after that.

bolio 49 Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 This got me thinking so I did a bit of checking and found this graph from Rutger University which shows that the past decade has been the snowiest in the northern hemisphere since they started measuring and recording it. Since the graph only starts in '67 however, I assume the big freeze of '63 would have helped bring that decade up to and maybe beyond the present one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
