Not the End of the World

Posted by on February 2nd 2009 in Weather

The overnight snow here wasn't as apocalyptic as predicted. At the moment it's snowing very lightly, it's quite mild and the accumulated snow-depth is a measly 15mm at the most. Yes, that's mm not cm. The cars have a light dusting of snow, but they're not iced-up, there having been no overnight freeze.

Even this piddly-farty amount of the fabled white-stuff is enough for the local junior and infant schools to announce that they won't be open today. Less that a mile away from them, however, the local high school is open. How does that work, then?
