I find those headlines (usually in the Daily Fail) to be hilarious in that the -12 c is in the Grampians/top of Ben Nevis at night and the heavy snow is in the less than 5 cm range. Anything more than 5 cm ensures that the councils gritters are taken off the roads due to some health and safety mandate.
Bristol is braced for sub-zero temperatures and widespread ice on Friday and into Saturday. But could the city also be in line for some snow flurries? The forecast keeps changing but Met Office experts are still predicting snowfall over Bristol on Friday. Driving conditions on Friday and Saturday morning are expected to be treacherous as temperatures dip below freezing. :rofl: |

What I'm getting at is how outlandish the headlines are when they quote temps and conditions as if they are widespread when in reality they are short lived and in areas where few if any people live. I guess I should expect that from the Daily Fail.

Seems the fog has reached Seattle, massive flight delays today on all the Seattle flights.
915am flight just left at 345pm. Fog has improved a bit in Vancouver but a bit colder today. |

I do remember the winter of 1978, living in Plymouth, where the whole city was snowed in - you could move around within it (with some difficulty), but couldn't get out of it.

Looks like a warm week coming up.
No white Christmas I venture this year. |
