Default Why does the media exaggerate

Paul.
The point I am trying to make is what percentage of the population lives at
Aviemore, and why report on the coldest place anyways. It is hardly a true
representation of the situation countrywide.
Yes there has been some difficult travelling conditions around the country
over the last ten days but the attitude always seems to be, lets go for the
worst case we can report when 90% of the population hardly ever see these
conditions where they actually live.

We keep reading reports about Aviemore recording -18 C. So what, it quite
often is at that altitude


200 metres. Are you sure it's quite often -18C at 200 m?
