    I remember this winter in 1991. I had an old 1975 mini that broke down and I couldn't get it started for weeks. On the day the snow fell the car looked like an igloo. Opened the door, key in the ignition and it started first time. I didn't even have the choke out. Snow has a magical quality thats all I can say.

      There is a difference due to the gradual change of climate which is when the temperature rises by 1 degrees Celsius every year. Climate change is evidently starting to show its effects.
