tongue in cheek uk weather seasons (but close to the truth)

I think there should be an extra winter in there after summer begins

In my childhood I remember (perhaps overly- optimistically) having distinct seasons and in particular crisp, snowy winters. The combination of climate change and moving west of the Pennines is really shit.

I had to live and work on the opposite sides of the pennines, the M62 whilst having lovely views over the hills, is seriously horrible to drive on in the rush hours (worse in winter) and the weather difference was very noticeable

Much dryer in the east, similar difference all the way up into Scotland
