From Britain's best news source:
Snowflakes are up in arms about having to cope with landing in Britain, reports the Daily Hail, which describes scenes of utter chaos in clouds up and down (but mostly above) the country whilst laying the blame firmly at the door of immigrant weather.
We come floating down in good faith but we have no idea where were going to end up. Those of us aiming for the major runways seem to have come down in peoples back gardens, or on the roof of a shed, where we are able to cause very little disruption. One of my friends spent 30 minutes in an uncontrolled descent only to be eaten by a cat. Its enough to make you melt, dripped one.
Many Scottish snowflakes hoping to meet their friends on the ski slopes have instead accidentally drifted down in Hinchley Wood near London, which has proved to be a bitter disappointment for all. Likewise, thousands of large, sticky, motorway flakes never made it onto the M6 and had to settle on minor country lanes where the local 4x4s made light work of them. It was a massacre, reports one. Almost as unlucky as the poor bastards who landed on Chelsea.
This years mayhem could be down to global warming, but one spokesflake had a different theory. This is simply the wrong kind of country....

(42,239 posts)WEATHER forecasters have issued an exclamation mark in a triangle, urging Britons to freak out.
The alarmist punctuation mark, which is the graphical representation of unbridled panic, probably refers to the cold weather.
However the symbols ambiguous nature means that it could equally refer to nuclear war, an anal bleeding pandemic or a shortage of chocolate.
Meteorologist Tom Logan said: At this point all we can say for certain is massive exclamation mark in a triangle.

Looks like tomorrow and Saturday may be the worst although unless its my imagination the forecast keeps changing. Doubtless however remarks of "ooh look - its snowing" will persist heree somewhere or other.

(42,239 posts)Conversations with strangers about the weather are expected to become even more tedious thanks to heavy snow fall in the south-east over the last 24 hours.
What about this weather, eh? has long been the staple fall-back question for awkward silences among strangers forced together for short periods of time.
However, recent heavy snowfall has ensured the subsequent conversations will be considerably more involved and significantly less interesting than normally expected at this time of year.
Forecasters are predicting the standard of conversation to get worse over the weekend, peaking on Sunday at levels of tear-inducing banality not seen since November last year.
