We could do with a January whiteout.

Typical lazy journo stories trying to panic the public. The Daily Depress does it every winter, lying to**ers! Look on the Met Office site and the longer term forecast, it might get a bit colder, there is more chance of a bit of snow but nothing significant.

It never ceases to maze me the amount of hyperbole the media come out with about winter weather . Snow bombs, polar vortex, troll from tronheim, beast from east etc. we have no real concept of proper winter weather in the uk . Unless you live in the highlands of course .

Attached should be a picture of the worst amount of snow I had to deal with here.

It’s coming a tad later than this now. Looks like widespread cold and potential snow next week after the Newport game.

Fully understand that, it’s the scaremongering by the media that annoys me, our winters were worse 40+ years ago than they are now

.... and my pet hate.

Why, if it's a bit hot, do they have to say " and it's going to be hotter than Athens and Majorca" like that means anything.

Or of course , when it's cold , "it's going to be colder than Iceland or Oslo"

fear!! Just like when they make the weather map look like the surface of the sun when it’s going to be 20 degrees or so. They need you all aboard the climate change bandwagon so you dance to their tune.

We live in a world where we are uncaring and ignorant if we dare to be positive about anything. Once upon a time, it was great to appreciate and enjoy a heatwave, but now it is stupid. If you go on a plane you're ruining the environment. If you vote in an election or referendum, half the nation tells you you're thick and racist. If you're a pensioner you are accused of pulling up the ladder and stealing everybody's money.

We are led by do-gooders who can't stand anyone being happy.

Incredible how a thread about the weather has turned into a silly political rant!
Back on topic,it's looking like the SE/west is getting the worst of it.
