I'd rather have rain than snow/ice, live on a high ground region with a good AC ... so bring it on.
The rest of the world might want to move in with you / eat all your food, as the polar ice caps have gone and sea levels have risen, displacing a few billion people.
In the meantime, your weather system is going to get much more violent (all that extra heat energy in the atmosphere) so your wetter winters will be accompanied by hurricanes and plenty of lesser storms. The Gulf Stream will have faltered with the loss of the polar ice caps, so the weather in the UK will also lose that moderating factor.
The world won't end, but civilisation almost certainly will, at least as we know it. Current human numbers will be reduced, drastically. Good luck with being part of the chosen few to survive...
Oh, hang on - you were "avin a laugh", weren't you?
