Britain’s Big Freeze continues

Britains big freeze continues with temperatures dropping to -22 Celsius at  night and is forecast to last into next week. Cold! For those trying to carry on and get to work its a real misery as joureys take far longer than normal. Many roads are treacherous. Transport services and goods deliveries have also been disrupted.

Freeze or Heatwave

The knockon effect of this cold spell can be felt almost everywhere, in agriculture, industry and sport. Farmers struggling to keep herds fed,  workers not been able to get into work, schools  closed and many sport venues cancelled.  Economically the whole of the country has been disrupted. Snow is only fun when you are well prepared to cope with the conditions.  Here in the U.K. we are definitely not prepared for such a big freeze as this. We freeze and yet in South Africa the British cricketers suffer in a heatwave of temperatures of over 40 Celsius.

Britain dips into conditions lower than the South Pole, others  bask on the beaches in soaring temperatures in a heatwave. Real extremes in the weather. The climate has certainly changed. The plants tell their own story too as they respond to the changes; global warming as predicted by the scientists is happening , whether man made or not, we do need to be prepared just like the good old fashioned boy scouts. Who knows what next week will bring.
