Yesterday my mum notified me of the "blizzard" outside. This consisted 
of approximately 3 tiny snowflakes barely visible to the naked eye.

Yesterday evening, the ground was about 20% covered in whiteness. If you 
imagine taking a chocolate cake and lightly sprinkling it with icing 
sugar, that's roughly what it looked like. (For extra points... go *get* 
a chocolate cake and eat it!)

This morning, as I walked to my car there was approximately 15 mm of 
snow laying on the ground, and barely visible flakes were still 
continuing to fall. On the way to work, the snow cover gradually became 
thinner and thinner, until in Coventry there isn't even a full covering.

On the radio I hear that the MET office has issued a country-wide Severe 
Weather Warning, schools and businesses have been closed, and the 
Highways Agency has advised people not to travel "unless absolutely 
necessary".

Uh... WTF? It's not exactly like the Arctic out there! :-P
