In Scotland, it is known as "winter"

More snow please. Lots more.

We all know that harsh weather isn't news until it affects the South East of England

Because that is where most people live. Well, the ones that matter do anyway.

And when are you leaving?

And when are you leaving?

Frak knows

But it is warmer than here!

[dang65]

it's been a couple of decades since the UK as a whole has had any significant snow and in that time we've become far more dependant on road transport so the perceived impact is much higher.

Also in that time the media has become progressively more and more hysterical.

There was even one front page the other day which said something like:

SNOW ALL OVER THE UK... AND THEY STILL CLAIM THERE'S GLOBAL WARMING!

Duh.

Because that is where most people live. Well, the ones that don't have British passports anyway

get it right

When I was in Siberia, it was -32c during the day, and it felt so bracing, snow deep and crisp. There's me, no tights on, no gloves, no hat, loving it. Was warned not to talk so much then I found out why, vocal chords froze, all I could do was grunt.

Cheeks solid, felt like dentist injection! Great!

Really invigorating, returned to Heathrow at 0c and it was damp, wet, tulipe, miserable, slutch everywhere and it felt ten times colder...

I used to walk (about 10 mins) to lunch in my suit until it got below -5C in Moscow - then I'd put a jacket on. As long as it's not snowing or windy it's fine.

Even -36C coming out of night clubs to metre deep snow it wasn't that cold (still glad of a coat though).

The trouble is the UK has a predominantly marine climate and the damp air makes everything feel colder.

I noticed that in my first hols back home from university. I'd not worn a coat that term unless it was raining, but back home in the Pennines it was a lot more humid and I was frozen to the marrow.
