Winter in Britain In winter it does not usually snow in Britain. Temperatures can get as low as freezing point (0 °C). though not much colder usually. That is why when it is cold or it begins to snow it can become a real problem. Last winter the temperature was low. One night there was a heavy owstorm. So when Jane White got up in the morning she saw that her garden was full of snow. The snow was so deep that Jane couldn't get to her car. She phoned and asked a man clear the snow away. When the man came, she opened the gate and let him in. Jane said to this man, "Don't throw any snow on the bushes in my garden and don't throw any on my fence. And don't throw any snow into the street." Then Jane went to her office by train and the man started to work. When Jane came back, there was no snow on the bushes, or the fence, or in the street. But Jane was not happy when she saw that all the snow was on top of her. The garage was full of snow
