Epic Snow for Britain
2010-01-06
great images at the source
COMMUTERS on the roads and rails suffered travel chaos this morning as the country woke to snow more than a foot deep -- in the iciest winter for A CENTURY

The army was called in last night after 1,000 vehicles were stranded in a ten mile jam on the A3 at Waterlooville, Hampshire.

Many of those stuck were evacuated to rescue centres while others remained in their motors overnight.
despite being at 51N, the average max in January is about 45F and the annual average snowfall is less than a foot (lower in the city)

#6  Snowed in with family , sledging and all the joys associated with it .

As long as the pantry is well stocked and the house is warm, being snowed in brings the gift of homely pleasures... for the first week. After that it can begin to pall. I do hope y'all don't reach that point, True Tommy.

#5  "Snow" in UK is appropriate,

To wit,

CHINESE MILITARY FORUM > [Strategist Robert Nightingale]ENGLAND SHOULD BE SEPARATED FROM SCOTLAND. Various Banks of Escosse are too costly for Britain to keep supporting or bailing out. Nightingale believes 80% of British = English voters per se will vote in favor of devol wid Scotland, as well as VOTE "NO" TO CONCEPT OF "EU" [weak Britain/England] IFF THEY HAD TRULY BEEN ALLOWED TO VOTE ON SAME???

#3  Papa Bravo, my sister-in-law, flew to the UK today. She has been stuck in the plane on the Tarmac at Heathrow for 4 hours. All domestic flights have been canceled.

#2  Can't recall from anytime in history when cognitive dissonance was so unhinged and pathological. The witch-burning mania comes to mind.

#1  Already saw attempts to blame it on AGW. Can't recall from anytime in history when cognitive dissonance was so unhinged and pathological.
