I'm glad I have my more southernly position and London's microclimate to keep snow at bay.

We've had pissy amounts of snow. Frankly, I'll just be happy when it stops being so bloody cold. Summer can't come soon enough...

I want it to rain more often, the lack of rain, and the worrying reports from the water suppliers is worrying me.

It can rain on Kent, and leave London and Surrey alone. They're the ones that need it apparently.

it doesnt matter how much it rains , its not going to affect water supplies...or so my oldd boss told me. its all to do with water percolation through soils and water tables levels and such stuff....he was ranting away whilst picking spuds.

Yes...but if it rains a lot in one place, the soil becomes more saturated and the water tables rise. Similarly, if there isn't a lot of a rain in one place for a long time, they drop, because it's not as if all water tables are equal.

well my geography knowlege stops at year nine, so i can't claim to understand fully, but surely rain is how the water gets into the ground...

Gotta agree...otherwise people wouldn't worry about drought when we get a long period without rain (not that that happens often in the UK)

grr my lack of using words has got me confused. what i ment to say was that the amount of rain we are having is relativly low compared to what we had years ago..i know it doesnt seem like it though, and most of this rain just gets into the top layers of soil and isnt substantial enough to affect the water table and to fill up resevoirs to the amount needed

Somehow, I am unamazed. Possibly due to something involving the basic principles of friction.
