This thought crossed my mind too. We're under around 8" of snow now, but
only got an orange warning. However, orange seems appropriate. What
action are they asking Londoners to take? To me, "Take action" would
have to mean something like "Move to higher ground", or maybe "Make sure
everything is tied down well", not "Stay indoors and wrap up warm".

The red warning is *still* in place, even though it stopped snowing
hours ago in some areas to the south of London. What's going on?
