Is the 'South' still there?

[ComedyPilot]

After all this snow and stuff, how are our home counties nancies doing now they've had a taste of the weather we put up with (year in year out with no BBC special report)?

 

[HovR]

Dunno what all the fuss was about. The only difference was my commute took at extra 5 minutes.

three inches outside, but absolutely none in the centre of London. No disruption to anything as far as I can tell.

NEWSFLASH: Nothing worth reporting in London.

A complete disaster at Heathrow when 50 passengers had to camp out all night at Costa when their vital flight to Birmingham was cancelled and they were left with no alternatives.

I'd have thought the disaster would be if they COULD fly to Birmingham!

wellingborough's back roads are a nightmare , but inner town roads look fine just slushy on the edge and around junctions . but saying that not used bike for a week due to ice and slush .

We've had snow on the ground and iced roads up here since Monday. Nothing on the news about that. As usual. If it hasn't happened in that Lunnun, it hasn't happened.

But we don't get provincial snow down here, we get capital snow and capital snow is a completely different matter!

Yeah, but we're not like them, and if you can't tell the difference, then you're as bad as them.

 

[Radchenister]

It's not over yet and now destined to get catastrophic, the forecast says 17 feet of snow heading for London and the East; the Prime Minister has already declared it a disaster zone, international forces are being sent from all over the globe including Scandinavian and Canadian mountain rescue experts who are en-route as we speak.

I was on the scene.
You just don't realise how difficult it was getting around with all that de-icer chemical powder stuff they had decanted on the dry pavements, but it gave the place a seasonal look.
There can be little doubt the Met office did its best to get people psyched up for nothing, I was having a chat with their staff on the Met Office stand at the Boat Show on Thursday and they warned me of the transport problems I was likely to face on my way home. They asked where I would be going, and had a look on their chart to see my home area obscured by a big symbol.
The train ran on time and got me home to a welcoming +5C this morning.
