snow is falling...

More weather news from the UK... Plus ça change and all that, but it is the bleakest mid-winter since the early 1960s. Not the most beautiful (or deeply snowiest) view, perhaps, but the snow continues to fall - even in London - this was the way it looked earlier this morning from one of my windows...

Endless debate on radio, TV and in all news journals, as to why the UK ceases to function in any weather that veers remotely from the 'norm'. Trains delayed by over an hour (or cancelled altogether), schools and airports closed, 'normal' life at a standstill...

True, it may warrant debate as to whether the UK should invest in costly snow ploughs, if conditions only require it once in a blue moon. But this has pretty much been the status quo for the past month. Curiously, New Year's Eve did feature a blue moon...

Go on, make me envious by telling me what it's like where you are...
