Snow?

Yes, we actually had snow in Guernsey.  It was mostly in the morning one day before it turned to rain, but it was enough to cause travel chaos (traffic jams, airport shut, etc.).  People from colder climates must be quite entertained.

It doesn't happen very often and it doesn't last very long when it does happen.  The "warm" water in the Channel (maybe about 50 degrees even now) is the main reason.  Historically, there has been recorded snowfall about once every 20 years.  Now, it has happened 3 out of the last 4 years...
