Just when you thought it was safe ....

Borrowing part of the famous tag line from the film Jaws 2 and following on from yesterday's posting where I said that the snow had all gone, just when you thought it was safe to go out again, the snow returned.

As I write, the snow has settled but it's stopped falling for the present although we could get between two and four inches by tomorrow. Fortunately Ilkeston seems to enjoy a micro-climate all of its own and the worst of the weather generally bypasses the town. Another place that I know of that has a similar micro-climate is Minehead in Somerset. After spending several holidays there I am aware that there can be summer thunderstorms up on Exmoor whilst holidaymakers in the resort town can be basking in sunshine. However we do seem to have had more snow this winter than for a number of years - so much for "Global Warming"! No wonder they changed it to "Climate Change".
