Normal weather
-
I am getting so bored of the media in Britain and its obsession with London and the south of England. I saw the headline Floods and Snow Batter Britain just now http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/feb/10/flood-snow-weather-uk[^] and thought, so where is this Britain place, because its obviously not where I live. If you have been following the UK media's weather related screaming headlines for the past week, anyone would think the whole country has been buried under three feet of snow and then flooded out of their homes. Where I live, we had a couple of inches of snow last Monday and the weather has been normal since. ie cold, cloudy, the odd snow/rain shower. I'm quite sure that if it had just been Scotland and the north of England and Wales that had been suffering with snow, the media would barely pay any attention.
Words fade as the meanings change, but somehow, it don't bother me.

It snowed on Friday morning, and it's still sat there in my Garden (North East, about 20 miles north of Newcastle), although it's now turned into sheet ice of death!
Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit! Buzzwords!

That's because nobody lives in the North, except unemployed Miners and Shipbuilders and their whippets! :-D

You might find its because the south/south-east a) contains something like 75% of the country's population b) generates 75% of the wealth and c) nobody outside of the UKcan name anywhere north of the watford gap. Therefore, if it affects the s/se its news - otherwise its now. Live with it, or move south.

Same here in Ireland. We were supposed to get 2 feet of snow and where I live we got about 4cm, barely enough for a snowman :) But still... I got a day off school for it and I had mocks for my leaving cert ;P Then it rained as usual and now the snow is gone. :(
I like work: it fascinates me. I can sit and look at for hours.--Jerome K Jerome<< that about sums me up! When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute-and it's longer than any hour. That's relativity--Albert Einstein << ya gotta love that guy!

But you've not been battered by snow and rain since yesterday? I don't think I have. I'd have noticed. :-D

No, other than the ice sheet of death, the weather today's been relatively clement (I think I saw some blue sky, and everything) Still brass monkeys, though
