Everybody talks about the weather in England and this is not surprising.It changes from minute to minute,so it's always interesting.Someone once widely remarked that other countries have a climate,but England just has weather!Jane was amused by all this talk at first,but she has got used to it now.
Last week Jane really understood why everyone is so concerned about the weather:you can never be certain what's going to happen.Though it was spring,there was a very heavy snowfall.as usual,no one expected it.The pipes in many houses were frozen; trains failed to run; cars got stuck; there were many accidents on the roads; lots of people slipped on the icy pavements and got hurt,the weather forecast was very bad.Everyone complained,"What terrible weather we're having!Haven't seen anything like it!" and so on.And then,suddenly,the sun came out,the snow melted and it was spring again.
Does the weather in England often change?
