It's snowing today, and the whole country is going fucking mad. Half the people at work didn't show up today. Hundreds of schools are shut. Stansted is closed, and so was Gatwick for a while (but has subsequently reopened). All BA domestic flights are grounded. Rail travel is chaotic because of speed restrictions (what is an inch of snow going to do to a train???). People are urged to not drive unless they really have to; and then bring food, water, a blanket, a torch and a shovel if they go out. Last time it snowed, gridlock on the motorways was so bad people had to sleep in their cars.
This is not an arctic blizzard people, this barely qualifies as a flurry. If you look closely at the pictures, you'll see that there's still grass showing through the snow. Visibility is fine. There's no wind, no sleet, no ice. And using an umbrella in a mild flurry? priceless.
Pussies.
