Whilst trying to keep the weather reports at frenzy level ,the Beeb have
mentioned several times today that Britain has been struck by BLIZZARDS ,.
Whilst I know it is normal to read out the list of blocked roads in the Peak
District and the Cairngorms in order that we can all share in the disaster
zones,I'd have thought that snow ,no matter how heavy can hardly be
described as a blizzard when winds are less than 5 MPH all over the
SouthEast . The cub reporters should hold fire with their adjectives cos
soon they might run out....

That has been really annoying me too.
