Why do they do it? It's nothing like as bad out there as they say it is.

They seem to go out of their way to find some dark valley somewhere
where the snow is 6 feet deep or some muppet who's been stuck in the
snow since yesterday.

It would be nice if they put the truth before a good story. Not much
chance of that though.

The snow's 5" deep on the path to the front gate here. I'm in the middle
of a town, the M25 is a mile away, and there's a tube station at the end
of the road.

What's your point? 5" of snow is easily passable by every modern car.

Adrian is a prick, so he always has a point. Quite what that point is,
no one knows.

I'm sure he'll be back to explain himself.

Just to add that, as far as the newsworthyness is concerned, an inch of
snow in the Home Counties is the equivalent of a foot everywhere else.

We had a 5" fall overnight Monday/Tuesday and then another 5" overnight
Tuesday/Wednesday. I helped my grand-daughter build a snowman in the back
garden on Tuesday and stuck an old cloth cap on the top of it. On Wednesday
morning there was another 5" of snow on the top of the cap.

Still managed to get her home to Warrington on Wednesday afternoon however -
and heavy snow was still falling most of the way there and all the way back.
