Well it's bucketing it down now in Sheffield which brings the curtain down on a great cold spell and indeed a very seasonal winter(even tho there's still some of it left).
Although the potential was there for more severe weather, to me it has been just right this winter - just enough snow at times to go sledging and snowman building with the kids but thankfully not enough to cause any major disruption. The last thing we really needed was roads being impassable, deliveries not getting through, key workers struggling to get to and from work, people not making vaccine appointments, A&E swamped with slip and fall breakages etc etc etc.
So next time someone says to you this winter has been a bust/fail, potential aside, think to yourself for a moment... Has it really? Compared to many an Atlantic driven rainfest over the last 30 odd years it hasn't been that bad at all and like I say, with all that we've had to deal with these last months, this winter gas been imo just about right.
