Last One To Post Wins [196]

Morning Keith

We like to think our British Christmas weather should be like Dickens describes in A Christmas Carol, conveniently forgetting that Dickens lived through a mini ice age caused by the eruption of Mount Tambora.

Afternoon Bree. Yeah, I'm not quite that old, but I remember Winters being much colder. I can remember heavy frosts every Winter where we used to make slides in the ice down the path that lasted weeks. We haven't had anything like that recently.

We seem to get a hard winters here in the UK about once a decade, according to Wikipedia's records....

• Winter of 1990–1991 in Western Europe
• February 2009 Great Britain and Ireland snowfall
• Winter of 2010–2011 in Europe

....which makes us about due for another one.

.but nothing has yet beaten the Big Freeze of 1963, which you and I should both have lived through and remember well.

Yeah, I remember that one. We had snow on the ground from the start of January well into February. So we are due one.

Bummer. I had one of those notices on my last Amazon delivery but that was only delayed to late evening.


Never heard of a sortation facility before.
