Not always.
The UK is located directly in the path of the gulf stream which entails mild summers and mild winters.
It can get very cold but unless you live in North of England or Scotland, Snowfall isn't a guarantee.
Sometimes it snows during the December period but often times snow doesn't arrive until mid January, and sometimes it doesn't even snow at all, esp in southern England.

Don't mind the illiterates and ignoramus fellows. Over 6 years ago that they last seen snow in London. So many people where celebrating it because its been long they saw it

At the bolded, the hypocrisy. I imagine those days would be brutal, a total case of survival of the fittest.

Rxcatly. Those days were brutal.

The only known Law is that of Survival and Nature bore the brunt.

When the European got to the America, the Population of Bisons was put at around 8m roaming in the wild. The Natives only kill for food and clothing. They don't have to be unnecessarily filled or have a Felts of every known furry Animals for clothing's. One or two is enough.

When the Europeans came, in less than a Hundred years, Bison population plummet to less than a hundred! They were killed ofr Games, clothing, and hardly for food.

Like you said, it was brutal.

Which one do you prefer bro, snow or dust?
dust is better.. exposure to harsh cold like in Canada frost bite can lead to amputation if u don't cover up well. The grass is not always greener on the other side.

I don't know what this people in abroad take us for. Why not come back and admire Nigeria weather since you now value it more than the snow.
some people come to Nigeria to spend winter and return to abroad during summer.. winter is extremely harsh.. -40 degrees -50 degrees even -60 in Manitoba, Alberta and others if u get lost in the snow due to visibility and U have no access to Google map u will realize how blessed Nigeria is

Before we used to think government is the problem, but gradually we are now seeing saboteurs...soon we will be knowing u people by names.
We the good people are in one camp, you are in another

Nigeria is a very very blessed country with bad leaders. Some masses are not helping matters too. Religion come do us strong things join. undecided


Nigeria would be great again.
God bless Nigeria more
God bless Africa.

Nigeria is blessed with bad citizens because there is nothing like a bad leader... A lizard can never lay eggs and hatch a snake... Out of the citizen comes politicians and civil servants and the rest of the citizen... A typical Nigerian person either in his or her work place or anywhere else will always find a way to cheat in which they call it runs or blessing or God pickup their calls...
Tell me why lot of Nigerians still go out of the countries and still involve in crimes... Are they the only people travelling in droves? Or are they suffering there as well... But here in Nigeria they will blame poverty for bad conduct and find excuses to do bad thing yet they blame the so called leaders... Who is a president or local government chairman or state governor and so on without the civil servants which are part of the masses and or citizens...
Citizen with tribalistic motives, hypocrite and most of them are not even patriotic but first thing is to shout bad leaders... Let's look into ourselves the change starts from us unless we doom the come future. So there is nothing like bad leaders. We have bad citizens

I have always wondered how people were able to survive in areas with cold climate hundreds of years ago, before even the crudest technologies that could weave clothes existed.
I know about using the skins of animals like bears for covering but how many of these animals could they catch?

Get off my mention, you dingbatted slowpoke.

Now, you don't know what to tell me because you had thought everyone was as senseless as you and the ones who brought you to the world to be a nuisance.

Keep fixating on political parties, individuals with no clear cut ideal and be expecting a change.

You are a very silly kid.

I should be discussing the situation of the country with your dad and not you because you clearly are still a toddler.

Stupid kid who must be reveling in their usual herd mentality, lacking the ability to critically think for himself and out of the box. Na akamu dey that your skull wey you dey mistake for brain, ekpa.

People can only talk about what is happening to them

You don't come to a social media to tell us how bad a place is meanwhile you complaining about the weather is still managing it. If he or she thinks the weather is harsh why not relocate back to the place you are praising. Rubbish!!!

Are you trying to be funny or sarcastic ? You end up sounding like a fool.

The definition that the Met Office uses to define a white Christmas is for one snowflake to be observed falling in the 24 hours of 25 December somewhere in the UK.

THAT IS THE OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT definition of white Christmas which is even used by bookmakers who takes bets on whether there will be one

You do not know and do not know that you do not know but think you know it all

When you want to use google, try to be smart lest you come across as someone who is intellectually inept.
You conveniently quoted the "official" definition ...official in quote to support your argument. Now let's look at the "traditional" definition which you conveniently overlooked just to come across as big-brained.

"A more "traditional" idea of snow-covered ground is less common, however, with only 4 occasions in the 51 years to 2015 reporting snow on the ground at 9am at more than 40% of weather stations.[22]

Although most places in the UK do tend to see some snow in the winter, it generally falls in January and February. However white Christmases do occur, on average every 6 years"

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Christmas_(weather)



Try to be more rigorous in your google searches so you do not come across as being dull.
You saw the context of my post and I referred to the Hollywood and Coca cola ads which always portray Christmas as being white. I stated this wasnt the case... then as Father Christmas that you are, you opened Google to give me a technical "Official" definition of Christmas yen yen yen. My experience even matches the statistics of once in 6 years...but Mr Big Brain had to show off his pseudo-intelligence by googling his own experience

You have ended up being the silly one now.

Nobody is disputing that, if he or she can't manage the weather, why not relocate back to the place you are praising.

This is a failed attempt at face saving . Empty and meaningless
A white Christmas has an official definition in the UK
The point is ONE SNOWFLAKE anywher is all that is required to declare a WHITE CHRISTMAS In the UK

There are legal reasons for this which I do not have time to go into now
I am not interested in Wikipedia. And I did not need to do any Google search to come up with it

Why are you so bitter? Is relocate back the only thing you can offer? That is just envy. If you have no words of support or encouragement be silent and stop flaunting envy

Medical students complain of workload we do not say DROP OUT
Even soldiers fighting Boko Haram have used social media to complain about food or their Kit.
No one says why don't you quit the army and come home
Pregnant women complain of pain we do not say go and do abortion. We offer support and encouragement or shut up except we are envious

Struggling students should drop out

Social media don't belong to anybody, but posting things that shouldn't be is wrong. That place he is trying to discredit their weather is what is keeping him going. Hypocrisy is bad in ones life, you can't be enjoying their place and still talk bad of their weather. Let him relocate back to Nigeria and come and enjoy the wonderful weather with us. Again, you don't know the meaning of frustration, am trying to correct a bad impression and you are here talking about bitterness and frustration.
