Winter - 2010

[DanaC]

I didn't say there wasn't a lot of snow :p

rather: It's December and it's snowing. The degree of shock, surprise, panic and general noise enusing from that fact is disproportionate.

It's a pain in the arse. It's disruptive to transport and services, and sometimes people get caught out and endangered by their exposure to the elements.

It's still just snow in December.

El Nino, Hurricane Katrina, a mini ice-age, tsunamis, large-scale flooding, a country wide freeze lasting several months, or a whiteout in Summer. These things are extreme weather events.
