Cold snap warning with four inches of snow on its way

“NEWSFLASH!!

This just in.
The whole of the U.K. will be on the receiving end of more weather tomorrow.”

“No doubt the eco-nuts will claim its all due to their fictional "climate change". What silly deluded idiots they are.”

Of course it's worth a mention - it's just not worth THAT much of a mention. We live in a country that gets wintry weather, why does it always seem to come as such a surprise to everyone?”

“If there are any people out there who own a 4X4 and would like to help people in this bad weather please contact the Red Cross at Matlock Green, for details.

“Journalistic gem? Slow news week?

Some people need to find something witty to say rather than just third-rate sarcasm. There's no sensational journalistic scoop in reporting that we will probably get some tricky weather over the next few days - if they didn't mention it, you'd all be up in arms at how the paper could possibly miss the weather when the rest of the country knows about it.”

“Four inches of snow, wow! Catastrophic! But I am sure some people will be able to share memories of 1963, when we still went to school despite it being the coldest winter for centuries. Snow drifts reached the hight of 27 feet! Although in Derby they were not much deeper that 15 feet.

This Movietone film shows what it was like and I just love the shot of an old steam locomotive fitted with a snow plough speeding along a deep snow covered track.

“News must be slow in this neck of the woods

Hey, Mr Journo, there's a blocked drain on our road and the water has formed an ice rink...send a photographer sharpish”

“Quick! Cancel school!”

“Oh dear, we've never had 4" of snow before in Derbyshire, however will we cope...... Another journalistic gem from the DT.”
