It had to happen, and the forecasters were spot on. Heavy snow has hit England and Wales, a little lighter in Holland, freezing ice in Scotland - oh the joys of a Northern European winter. The poor rose, from a BBC Hampshire site, doesn't know whether it is coming or going. I was in England in January 1975 when my uncle's roses bloomed in extraordinarily mild temperatures, only to be hit by snow a few days later. Anyway, no surprise, wish we had some of it (well, perhaps in the form of rain). Our North and West of the state have received excellent falls this past week or two, but they've eluded us in the South East of Queensland. A well known long term forecaster here predicted before Christmas the South East would get great rain around March 23. I hope he is spot on this time.
