How much snow (how deep) does north of England get and how long does it stay? All winter?

Hi I take it your not from England then? It depends from year to year, this week the whole of the U.K. has been hit by a Syberian winter causing school closures and sadly road accidents.
This year though has also been the coldest for many years and here in the North have had a lot of snow.

Nope. Canada. We have had some -50 weather in January but now it has gotten lovely and warm, about -14 or -16. Our snow is quite high(couple of feet or more) and it stays til end of March sometimes get storms in April though. I have heard you get similiar weather in Northern England and Scotland except that the snow doesn't stay around as long. I was wondering if this is true. I would love to visit your lovely country someday and I am in the process of saving up for a trip, hopefully take a Heartbeat Tour.

we never ever get that much snow anywhere except maybe in yorkshire or scotland but from what my mum descibes never. My mum used to live in Canada, she lived in Pine and Point and some other place nearer the US/Canada border because Pine Point is right up in the north west terroritories above that line um can't remember what it's called Anyways not much snow, just enough to let everybody with nice headmasters (not evil ones) have a couple of days off school.

I myself have never been to Canada although I've always wanted to visit. Mind you I've always wanted to visit many places outside europe, like america, australia, china and canada. Like I said though my mum lived there for about four years, admittedly though that was in the 1970's when she was about 30 years younger than she is now, about 14. I'm sure things have changed a lot since then.

I guess it probably has changed since then, just like anything else, I suppose. I know how you feel. I would like to see the UK someday. I would really love to travel. Hopefully someday we will get our wish!

What! Six flakes of snow! You are so lucky! I can't imagine a winter without snow, but I would sure like to. My trip to England is looking better all the time. PS: Can anyone tell me what is a shandy, and why is it considered a ladie's drink? (Is it any good?) What exactly is a port and lemon? Forgive my ignorance, but if I visit, I don't want to look like a total and complete idiot. Thanks.

It's a mixture of beer and lemonade, ½ beer, ½ lemonade. It's a nice drink.
