However, here in Coventry, there has only been some light over night
scattering of snow
which melts around 10 am.

The BBC & Met office really do need to get their act together in producing
more accurate
forecasts and less scaremongering.

I remember when I was young that the summer lasted at least 10 weeks, hot
weather
80 degrees+

Winter always had deep snow for weeks, snowmen, sledging etc.

What has changed, the weather or my memory ?

Complete Wuss.
If he walked to the top of the hill "to keep in touch with the police",
he could have walked down to the nearest farmhouse / village / village
pub and spent the night in comfort. Complete waste resources to rescue a
fit, healthy man from a bit of snow.

Walking to the 'nearest' farmhouse / village / pub in a blizzard is one of
the worst things you can do! Repeatedly walking to the top of the hill was
foolhardy as well, once he'd contacted the authorities.
