Well Hello,
It's a Monday, and yes it's rant time I can't hold this one back I had a quick glance in the Mirror Paper yesterday, page two headline, Big Freeze Set To Hit The Uk They claimed the snowstorm that effected New York last weekend was heading our way That the south-east could even see a slight covering in places And the temperatures... wait for it Will be as low as 4 degrees C in places That is Plus 4 degrees, not minus I laughed out loud when i read the article ![]() Let's see, New York had two foot of snow over the weekend. I checked out various New York webcams during the event and since Roads have been cleared and are open. People in New York will be going to work today Children will be going to school today As they will be in other countries that have severe winters, parts of Finland for example So isn't it curious that London and the South-East area of England in general can't seem to cope with a light snow cover I know it's become a very rare event, but really New York can cope with a huge snowstorm, they pick themselves up and get on with it, so London should really be able to cope with light snow That's the end of my rant for today |
