Snowed Under

What the hell is going on with the weather? The last few weeks, it has seemed that not a day goes by without there being a weather warning that heavy snow's on the way and that the temperature's going to be freezing. I wouldn't be so bothered but for the fact that here in Manchester the majority of the snow we've had has been of the non-stick variety! If you're going to tell us that there's going to be snow, at least tell us if its going to be the proper stuff that you can make snowmen out of and throw at people!
