This is not beach weather
Prett much everywhere north of London got a snow dump yesterday; from London southward, torrential rain. (Although there were very light flurries this morning here.) Poor Cumbria had some really freak weather, with high sudden winds and all that created 14-foot drifts in minutes. The article I read had some weather person commenting that it was more like something you'd see somewhere like Canada. No, not especially. Nor'easters can definitely be brutal, and I know my parents were digging out again last week, but they don't really do the snow equivalent of a flash flood very often.
My timing being what it is, I am off to spend a couple days at the beach. LOL. I bought a Groupon voucher around Christmastime that was good until the end of March. My original thought had been to go away the weekend of my birthday, but I forgot that was Mothering Sunday this year. (Cannot get used to that being in March. I have a few stray cards round the house because I keep buying them in March and then not knowing wtf I've done with them by the time late April rolls around and it's time to mail them!)
So it'll be freeeeezing, but is supposed to just be cold and overcast so no big, really. I can certainly cope with cold! And the hotel has an indoor pool and jacuzzi so if it's really blustery and I don't feel like making the 20-minute walk into town, I can just hang indoors and lounge. Not planning anything except to chill out and get away for a couple of days.
Didn't even check if there's wifi, free or not, as I'm intending to unplug and am taking actual books instead.
