England has Coldest Winter in 31 Years!

As the entire U.K. continues to shiver, the Met Office has officially said, that this year has been on of Britain’s coldest. This winter has been their coldest and one of the snowiest winters seen in the past 31 years. The Met Office measured snowfall and temperature from December to February.

The measurements were conclusive that Britain saw it’s harshest winter weather since the winter of 1978-1979. The numbers don’t lie, the average temperature in England was a balmy 34 degrees Fahrenheit. Scotland by far had the worst of this year’s winter weather with their average temperature being only 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

Not only did the UK experience one of the coldest winters on record, they saw record snowfalls through out the winter season. While it does snow on occasion in England, the snow that was experienced this year was out of the ordinary. Heavy snow disrupted travel and business through out the UK this season. Towns and counties ran out of grit, which is similar to salt, that is used here in the US. Now, with the snow seeming to be winding down as spring is beginning, officials worry about where all of the water from the melting snow will go. Sever flooding has already been blamed for one death.
