I was most surprised to see the pictures of snow in the SE, on BBC News.


Was there a degree of exaggeration there in the reporting? I'll leave it
for the guys from Kent to comment.
It's just that watching them dig out a Land Rover from the snow of no
great depth was slightly unbelievable. (Speaking as an owner previously).


I did think it was a little OTT, especially if they could switch the
vehicle into 4-wheel drive....

Doesn't seem to anyone posting from the North-West of England. I'm about
12 miles from Blackburn, & it's been a bright sunny day, about 46F (at
a guess) with a cool northerly breeze. I was most surprised to see the
pictures of snow in the SE, on BBC News.


Hi Geoff,

I'm a regular lurker from your area. About 12 miles from Blackburn too.
Brierfield to be exact. Where exactly are you?
