Snow Snow Snow! Big Freeze Part 3

Here is Washington currently languishing under 30 inches plus of snow, running out of places to put it and having to build snow mountains. People are snowed in so badly that those on the ground floor are unable in some areas to leave their houses, having to climb through first floor windows instead. Oh yes and most importantly to us Brits - doggies are being mugged in the streets for their coats!

People are suggesting that Washington could get rid of its Snow mountains by exporting the white icy stuff to Canada where they are having to buy snow for the winter olympics - you couldn't make it up could you?

You have to laugh at the boys from the Met office though - see pic below.


Here is a 'Severe Weather Warning' from the UK Meteorological office warning us that a few centimetres of snow 'could' accumulate with a low risk of up to 15cm accumulating. Well whoopy do. Maybe its time they retitled their weather warnings - I would call this a moderate weather warning myself!

One thing I do know is that if we get 30 inches of snow in London they will never spot it coming. Does anybody remember the Hurricane that the UK would never get?

PS and on the 11th of Jan - the results of the Severe Weather Warning? Nothing, no snow. Nada. The council did grit the road though which was fantastic if a waste of time. Its more than they did yesterday when it did snow!
