Title: Meteorological Armageddon
Post by: AlaninCarlisle on February 05, 2018, 18:04

Just glancing at the newspaper headlines in the newsagents this morning, talking about deadly cold-snaps in the coming 10 days and so on made me smile. They talk as if sub-zero temperatures in the middle of winter are some new kind of fiendish creation. I don't read the paper but the Express seems to make a habit of sensationalising British weather

I like sending those articles to my friend in Norway, he finds it hilarious.

I'm surprised to read that - surely we all know that bad weather isn't a thing unless it affects the South East of England!

The Daily EggPress is notorious for it's wildly inaccurate headlines, (and contents), especially regarding the weather.
However I've never known it to apologise when it's proved wrong!

We're often the last item on Norwegian telly news - the funny. Look at the Brits trying to cope with a few snowflakes whilst they've a metre or two.
