Many Sheffielders going back to work for the new year woke up to snow-covered streets this morning. Some places in Yorkshire and Humberside had been recorded to reach -8 last night, and weather experts predicted that Monday night/ Tuesday morning would feel even colder, with temperature plunging as low as -10 degree C!
I was rather chuffed to see the snow, thinking what a good start to the year, but not many shared my excitement as driving conditions were poor and the commuting problems were exacerbated by rail cancellations...
...but Weston Park did look very pretty, and I bet the Peaks would have looked even better!
The Times reported that "so far Scotland had borne the brunt of the cold weather, with the Highlands recording temperatures as low as minus 13C one night last week, but Met Office forecasts suggest that England and Wales are about to suffer the worst temperatures, with a similar freeze on Wednesday night across Wales and southern England. Even during the day, temperatures are unlikely to rise above 0C in many places. "
oOooo wonder if Kinder Downfall would freeze this winter? It has been a long time since it was last frozen...
