In fact if it was I would venture that it
would be our worst blizzard here since the 80's.

I was thinking that this morning - I think warmer air would move in from
the south and turn stuff to rain but by crikey we'd have probably 12-18
hours of snow before it.

Incidentally the Met Police have announced £20 on-the-spot fines for anyone
heard making a "it's the wettest drought ever" gag.
