I think it's any amount of snow. I remember last year, when it turned out a lot of councils had got rid of their snow ploughs, cos they didn't use them very often...

England is small enough to have a few fleets that could be shifted around overnight if needs be.

Any way, people have their own plows on their cars here

It's snowing now as well.

90% chance of snow on the ground at Christmas

It's the end of civilisation as we know it....again...the same thing happened last year as well down there in Wimpy Limpwristyland.....LONDON AND THE SOUTH EAST OF ENGLAND RECEIVES A DUMPING OF SNOW! ..all 20cms of the stuff in some parts.

Whenever more than three flakes of snow falls on London and the Soft South of England at the same time they call it a Blizzard.......and everything comes to a standstill and as ever, people act as if it had never, ever snowed before down there and a State of Emergency has to be declared.....schools automatically close down, buses and trains sieze up and the £ Sterling plummets on the foreign exchange markets.

Of course, Scotland never, ever gets dumped on by snow at any time, ever....does it.....if the London Sassenachcentric Media are any form of guideline on Britain's crappy weather....

But at least some Aussies in Sussex seemed to be enjoying the snow.....

oooh. Don't get me started on that! It snows in SE England and it makes Headline news. It snows in Scotland. Nothing. No coverage except local news. Of course London and the SE is the whole UK isn't it?

They read a funny email on that theme on the BBC PM Programme last night ... "if a sparrow farts in Knightsbridge, the whole country has to hear about it..."

Tis true also when it comes to reporting "newsworthy events" from the UK over here in the States. I give you those godawful reality tv stars as an example. (You know, those z-listers that no-one ever heard of or the embarrassingly "british" fugly buckets that possess a miniscule amount of "talent" that want their 5 mins of fame - namely that Boyle woman.)

The only "news" from Blighty that has reached these shores (these shores being the shores of Lake Michigan, Illinois) is Boyles' rise to fame and some twaddle about 2 morons cooking a rat whilst in a rainforest....

I ask ya. I have to physically go burrowing around in an avalanche of pointless web-crumbs to try and find any news of substance and meaning.

...and to your point, any "Scottish" news...? Highly unlikely m'afraid.

It's a rare occurance in Southern England, but commonplace in Scotland. That is what makes it newsworthy.

Ooohhh.. What's the app??

The one I use is ooTunes but you can use wunderradio as well. Think there maybe others.

No of course not, only Essex.
