Default So who is actually getting this current cold spell??

It is very difficult to work out where it is cold and where there is
snow cover. The Media aren't helping. It's not a North vs London bias
it's a we'll report the worst case as being everywhere bias. On News 24
I just got in the handover to the forecaster " Can it possibly get any
colder than this?" Answer, "Not really after the near record breaking
temperatures in some parts last night". Am I imagining this stuff or are
they? I am prepared to concede that today is the first day of a cold
snap here as the max looks like being 3.6C today and there was a slight
frost last night.
BUT where exactly is all of the snow cover and freezing weather they
keep mentioning?
