Maybe, just maybe, we are heading for a traditional Christmas? We've had a fair bit of cold weather through November, we've even had a touch of fog that has lingered over Accrington today, and just a little of Jack Frost in the early hours of the day, (it seems years since we had cobwebs actually frozen and showing themselves up).
Admitted the fog we've had is nothing like the stuff in the late 50's that was tinged with yellow from all the sulphur before the clean air act came in, but we didn't bother back then, being able to play hide and seek whilst only being 3 feet from someone was exciting!
I think the way things are going lot's of children, (and possibly parent's), will get to enjoy the snow covered Christmas day's from 50 years ago.
There again maybe we should start to panic, all that confusion created these days because the inside of peoples double glazing freezes? How will we all cope?
