Cue for all the Global Warming naysayers to blossom forth with their usual unfunny remarks.

ken: "You need to be a tad more specific, TTT. I'm from "up north" and snow is snow. Snore is something i do if i sleep on my back - or have a skinful. " - you have snow but you call it "snore", It's like when you go to a show you call it a "shore" and the last Olympics were in Torkyor.

OG "Winter starts on the 21st of December. This is a UK autumn. " - well that is actually mid winters day.

Ken - TTT lives in Dorset so north to him is Berkshire, Hampshire and Wiltshire, where I first came across R being inserted into snow/law etc.

TTT, the good folk of Burnley - nor it's surrounding areas - pronounce snow (or show, for that matter) in the way you state. You may find they do in parts of Yorkshire?
I recall a Yorkshire lass on Big Brother asking her 'boyfriend', "Are you smirking?" Poor lad was utterly confused. Transpired that he had told her he was packing in smoking but had nipped out for a crafty fag.

"do not pronounce"

A more Yorkshire pronunciation of Snow and Show would be

Snoh
and
Shoh

I'm a northerner and i say snow and show.

I know this in News not Chatterbank, but this reminds me of my Geordie friend, having just come down to Somerset, asked at the pub for 3 Cokes and was given three corks.

Well, I can remember snowy Bonfire nights when I was young. Some winters are snowy earlier than others and always have been.

Wow I can't say I ever remember that. I've known snow in October twice: once in Kyiv and once in the UK at 1000ft

TTT goes on and on about Northern accents, which he obviously has a "thing" about. Of course, Cockerney/Sarf-East and Estuary English are SO much nicer, aren't they?

Ich 18.30 - West Yorkshire (Airedale) in the late '50's and '60's. It was rather pretty and you could hear the hiss of the snowflakes as they neared the flames.

It’s Baltic here tonight …but no snow

Nice Jourdain :-)
