Snow and the UK

So, that was it, the worse weather "event" since 1991. Not only are we
the laughing stock of Europe, we are the laughing stock of everywhere
North of Derby. Snow happens at least a couple of times a year in these
areas, how often does it make national news? As with the 1987
"Hurricane" it affected the south, especially London and, as a result
was splashed everywhere.

Now I will admit that I expect some bias towards the south east of the
country and Londn in particular, as, if you look at Greater London, it
almost certainly contains between 10 and 12% of the entire population of
the country, but I suspect that as much of the Media output derives from
London, this bias is much greater than it would be otherwise. Note to
all media outlets, keep it balanced and PLEASE stop over hyping events.
It SNOWED, admittedly hasn't done that too often recently, but it is
just snow, it will be gone in a few days, or at worse a couple of
weeks. Some of us are just happy to see some of the white stuff, I
would however like to see less of the "Snow event proves Global warming"
as that can be described in just one word, -- Bullshit.
