Blizzards!

Not really, although according to the UK weather forecasts, this is what a blizzard looks like.



Two inches of snow -- enough to cause TRAFFIC CHAOS! across the UK and prompt warnings to take a flask of tea, a blanket, and a spade with you on long journeys, presumably to dig yourself out of those deadly two-inch snowdrifts. I think the rest of Europe must snigger at us behind our backs.



The observant ones among you will notice that this isn't, in fact, the UK; it's the view from my window at work. I'm going to miss it.
