The "severe adverse weather conditions" here in this part of Kent this
morning are causing havoc on the Ashford-Ramsgate line - all the trains
that are running are running late (up to 50 minutes at last check) and
half that should be running are cancelled.

Just looked outside and it is drizzling - perhaps we can expect this
chaos every time it rains from now on?

Chaos in Norfolk too, according to the local TV news. Local railway
spokesperson saying the company put on an emergency service only, due to the
weather forecast for lots of snow blanketing the region, which turned out to
be an erroneous forecast.

Digressing slightly, local radio this morning had a discussion about why so
many schools are closed when we've just got a cold wet day. Various teachers
came on the phone talking about how they have to guarantee not just to get
the kids in school, but to be able to get the kids home, and as the forecast
was for blanket snow, a decision had to be made & much mention by various
people about "In my day they never closed the schools, and we have to walk
miles to get there" yadda, yadda yadda.

One can but hope that there's going to be a point taken about the
over-egging the pudding as regards forecasting of appalling winter
conditions when all we've really had is a little snow which is normal for
this time of year. Send them back in time to 1963! ;-)

Cheers

Apparently, it's just the same silly havoc at the various UK Airports with
many domestic flights cancelled by BA "because of severe weather in the
London area".

If we get ever get anything like a half decent cold spell in winter again in
this Country, will everything totally stop and we all just stay in bed?
