Sorry to state the bleedin obvious but it never fails to amaze me how
the media tends to ignore anything that happens north of Watford.
There seems to be a very serious and significant snowfall event
unfolding in the Highlands yet you read hardly anything about it in
our press. It might as well be on the other side of the world ....

Been endless daily stuff on the News I've been watching about snow in the
North. I was going to complain about the anti-Southern bias as we haven't
had any in Essex, but then I don't believe in all this News bias nonsense

They do seem to be catching up now - but the coverage is still not
that impressive. Where are the images / reports of the 5ft drifts at
the top of Nevis Range. Surely if the BBC can send out more staff than
there are British competitors at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver they
can pay a local guy with a skidoo a few quid to get them up to the top
of these ski stations in Scotland?

I watched a feature on the snow in Scotland this morning I think on
breakfast TV.

To be fair it is the top headline on the right on the UK page,

This sounds bad though
"Severe weather has been forecast to continue to affect the north of
Scotland until the end of Friday when it will "die out", the Met
Office said.

A deep storm is affecting the NE USA again too. Crazy headlines like
"SNOWACANE" have been bandied about.

There has been coverage, but I think it has been fair.
And I'm one of the first to jump on what I perceive
as southern bias!
The area affected is thinly populated and therfore the
number of people likely to be affected is relatively low.
I think I am right in saying that the more populated
coastal areas have had rain or not significant snowfall.
Secondly, this is The Highlands and they are used to
heavy snow, though this is pretty exceptional even for
that area.

Sorry Scott but that is absolute garbage. as I prepared to go to work this
morningI was listening to the Biased Broadcasting Company breakfast slot
with Bill Turnbull and co and I couldn't believe how they were prattling on
aboot the snow in Scotland which affected such a small portion of the
Britains population I thought it was a typical slant by the BBC.

The weather forecast should be aimed at where the highest amount of the
population will be affected, I mean there a far more people in London then
there are in all of Scotland

What do you want a highlighed weather for where no one actually lives?
