Very interesting watching the presenters on GMTV harping on about the severe
conditions in 2Cm of snow. Hardly severe is it?

I dont suppose any of them were around in 1963. Perhaps we need another
winter like that one so that they can get things into perspective.

God knows what our foreign neighbours think of us with that bunch of nancies
prancing about in what looked like nothing more than a frost.

There hasn't been any severe weather here (Peterborough), we had a
couple of VERY brief snow flurries - apart from the its been glorious
winter sunshine. And it's not even that cold either.

Yesterdays local Anglia news had a report advising people not to make
unecessary journeys - but to take a survival kit if you do, just incase
you get stuck in a snow drift LOL.

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
