Internet scare stories.

There is a particular newspaper that I don't read, but I frequently see 'clickbait' headlines for it on the internet giving the impression that 'Snowmageddon' has been forecast for the UK. When compared with weather forecasts from other sources (such as the Met Office), one quickly realises the 'clickbait' headlines are a gross exaggeration.

When snow has been forecast, I tend to be of the view that I'll believe it when I see it. As a 49-year-old, there has only been one occasion in my life when I considered snow to be a cause for concern (in addition to finding it terribly exciting). It was back in 1981/82 when I was living in South Wales, and Wales had been cut off from the rest of the UK. As a result of drifting, the snow in my street was so deep that it completely covered the cars that were parked there.
