I am getting increasingly irritated by the media's response that yesterday's
snow was the 'Worst in the UK for almost 20 years'.
Actually it wasn't.
It was the worst in London and selected areas of the SE, mainly to
the south of London and especially the North Downs.
So only a tiny part of the country had it's 'Worst for almost 20 years'.

It'll be interesting to compare when everywhere but London gets snow
in the next couple of days (as it seems to be unfolding - most of the
weather warnings for the SE now dropped).

Having said that - the media gets bored of things quickly so there
could be the element of snow being old news so don't expect to see as
much reporting on it...
