And now, a very bad pun
If it's the last week in February, it must be time for National Snow Day.
What's happening? Well, we've got dry, cold air coming in from the east, there it goes, see the mass of blues sweeping past Norwich, toppling Hull, under the Tyne Bridge. And we've got wet and slightly warm air coming up from the south-west, we're representing it by the yellow colours. See it? Now, where these two air-masses collide...
Pow! Just look at that! White stuff everywhere! Birmingham is sitting under almost a centimetre of ice, there's freezing rain in Stoke, and Nottingham is covered in the stuff. If this swing continues across the rest of the country, we'll all be ground to a halt by nightfall.
That was the wrong sort of snow.
