One report this morning showed a car, which was parked overnight,
had at least 2 inches of snow on it! One lady presenter claimed it
was so cold that she was wearing 5, yes 5 layers of clothes. So
that's knickers and bra, petticoat or slip, blouse, cardigan and a
light coat. All I can say is that I'm glad the BBC and Sky were not
aware that my car had 6 inches of snow on it last month. I just
couldn't bear the thought of BBC and SKY news film units outside my
house. The media really are milking this down to the last snow
flake.

I suggest a training course to the Alps... -25degC whilst blowing a
gale should sort 'em.


How about somewhere like Alaska or Antarctica, that'd be better...


No go I'm afraid - there's no 5 star hotels for the media luvvies to base
themselves in

This graphic from BBC News is just tosh

The majority of the '10cm zone' has no lying snow, most of it suffering
a mix of drizzle and sleet for much of the day.
