"In the first weeks of February, travellers were stranded, and
thousands of schools closed as Britain suffered its worst
snowfalls in 18 years. This film documents that extraordinary week
and the fallout from the storm, exploring the possible factors
behind the freak weather. People battled to get to work. Some took
eight hours using skis and sledges while others made the most of
their wintry day off. Britain was turned into a fun, white
wonderland by this sudden change in conditions - but with more
than just a few broken bones as a result."


Oh dear!

I must have dozed off that week, did I miss something ?


I think it must have snowed in London.



I see the TV promo for the programme now talks about "the coldest
winter for 18 years."


Does it really? Give me strength!
I never watch these programmes, I doubt I'll be watching this one either as
it all sounds a load of cobblers to me. The pictures might be nice to see
though.
