I echo those thoughts too, as i watch one or two lonely flakes drift
slowly past the streetlamp. Poor little things have zero chance of
settling, destined for destruction the moment they hit any surface

Being in the far west, light flurries was the max i was expecting to be
honest.

Got the remnants of the showers those greedy folk from the east have
stolen

I know it's started to settle in some parts of the country now, but
very early this morning, i read a news article that 'MOST of the
country is covered in snow' and i thought.... "WHAT !!!!!!!"

Snow-wishes for those that haven't seen any yet

I think it just shows this country's desperation for something interesting
to happen!

We don't have dangerous animals
We don't have hurricanes
We don't generally have large tornadoes (although obviously it's always a
possibility)
We get about 2 weeks of summer per year with the rest being rather drab
Our winters aren't particularly severe and many people here probably haven't
seen snow before!

Most of the news in the UK seems to be based around making a mountain out of
a molehill.

Hey, I live in the east! and apart from a few heavyish snow showers there's
nothing on the ground now.
Although yesterday evening we had a snow shower resembling a saharan dust
storm and at 8.20pm, then there was a flash of lightning, a rumble of
thunder and off went the electricity for one and a half hours.

Regards. Len.
