Britain braced for heaviest snowfall in 50-years
Not the kind of headline you expect to see if the planet is warming up. The article in the Telegraph talks about Arctic weather that is causing nationwide chaos. The snow is expected to be especially heavy in the south:
Forecasters predicted that more than one foot of snow could fall in less than 24 hours in most southern areas leading to widespread chaos and disruption for millions.
The residents of Hampshire and Wiltshire were expected to be the worst hit, with as much as 16 inches likely to be dumped by the end of tomorrow.
Residents and commuters in London, which ground to a halt last February following heavy falls, were warned to expect a covering of several inches by the morning rush hour.
On the roads drivers were advised not to venture out unless their journey was absolutely essential, as councils warned they could run out of grit if the conditions failed to improve.
The Met Office claimed the amount of snow forecast could be the biggest single fall since the notorious winter of 1962-63, when some areas of the country were blighted by snow and ice for more than three months.
Good thing the planet is warming up! Think how severe this would be without global warming.
