yes it is a particularly cold snap, but

why is it that every time we get a cold snap people start talking about siberia and weather coming from Siberia or the ARCTIC!

In the words of Michael Winner don't worry folks it is a particularly cold winter.

But last time I was in the Arctic Circle it was -41c....

I wish we'd stop being drama queeny about he weather in the UK.

These things happen (and will still happen from time to time if Global Warming happens)
