No snow in London here as yet, but we are off to West Ham for an FA cup match on Saturday where the top temp for the day is supposed to be 2c.You and me both @VPS. I'm not jealous of @Captain Halliday, @JohnM or @RooFlyer at the moment - much
My wife is over having hot Christmases and I think the kids want to see continental snow after seeing it in USA in July 2018. England here we come...
My wife's Uncle, who lived near Oldham, Lancs, said the white Christmases disappeared in 50s/60s. Not that he missed them, but he did take great pleasure a few weeks before an April visit many years ago sending a newspaper cutting showing 2' of snow on the road to where we would be staying. So cold Christmas/January visits can be guaranteed for your London visit, but any white is more likely to be frost. But if you are looking for cold while Oz bakes, you will not be disappointed.
You'll still be lucky to get snow at Christmas - it's more a late Jan/early Feb thing based on the past four years' experiences. I'll be there again in two weeks, and the surprising thing is the weather forecasts show the same symbols and have the same descriptions of the weather as us - just a few degrees different though. I love how they can tell the difference between Abundant Sunshine and Brilliant Sunshine, when it's only getting to 4 deg!
Local granite source. Somewhere is imPERfect in that regard. Need to head down to Albany
What about the ultra-squeaky icing sugar-like sand at EsPERance?
4 degrees but feels like 2 degrees, brrrrr!
Rubbish game highlighted by the miss of the season for Carroll, which luckily he corrected with a trademark header. West Ham 2, Birmingham 0.
How is the temperature across the Channel? Didn't get above 5 degrees in London for the football yesterday.
