Dumb Britain. News comment - "it's only 2 degrees warmer than the South Pole
here". No qualification. Actually nearly vaguely true. -23C max in
mid-summer at South Pole. -21C minimum in Scottish Highlands. So what? See
the, media are spot on with their facts.
Tom Bennett would laugh at the reporter in Writtle, standing next to a dry
clear main road saying how treacherous driving conditions were and how
nobody could commute to work. She was surrounded by, ermm, 10 cm max of snow
but stated the whole surrounding area is experiencing more heavy snow and
EVEN more tonight. Not true. This was London News but they could have least
gone somewhere with a bit more snow.

P.S I've driven all around S.Essex and the edge of Greater London today and
except for extremely minor roads they were all perfectly normal!

You should try walking on the pavements! (see separate post)
