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?

It's not just the weather though is it. Everything in the media has to be
the worst ever. It's like the current "depression" is now the worst in 100
years. Noo I don't think so. Not from what I see in the town centre, the
pubs, the restaurant. Try telling that to an eighty year old. He'll tell you
what hard times are!
