January roared in like a lion, DH was sent out a few times to replace dustbin lids on the bird feeder bins

This morning dawned with the 4cast sharp frost from a clear blue sky. Snow 4cast across the UK by Friday night

This is what I remember from my childhood which is why people still ask if C.mas will be white. We had intermittent snow from end of November through to March and again in late April early May. Now the seasons seem to merge into continual rain

And how can a canal bank break due to heavy rain
