    Have you noticed how it has gotten suddenly colder in the last week or so, It would be better than some of the winter storms we have been getting the last few years.

    mother nature can produce horrors worse than any movie maker.

    if your on the web again dale you should google the big freeze of 1962 you might find it interesting.

    I've heard something about a lack of sun spot activity lately which is a big indicator that there will be a severe winter ahead. There's also all the usual nature signs that people are always talking about. eg. my parents' holly tree is teeming with berries already and any other year that has happened we've had a pretty bad (or good if you love snow) winter. I for one would love some decent snowfall, if only to get a few days off work :D

    today around 3.50pm i was walking up the Wyattville road towards the Cherrywood/N11 Interchange to get a bus and from out of nowhere this freak localised wind lasting about 20 seconds came, it felt like about 80mph gusts - the wind was blowing against us and we were literally walking on the spot as the wicked wind was preventing us from making any progress till teh wind dyed down to a bare breeze again- not sure that todays experience is anything to go by but it certainly freaked me out.
