BBC weather forecast warning. "We're expecting 30-40 centimetres of snow, so that's a couple of feet" !

40cm is nothing really but I've heard that there might be as much as 3 snowflakes in London so it's probably quite serious.

A pedant writes: Surely it's the imperial conversion that is wrong, not the metric original?

Surely "snowflakes" have to be metric? If they were imperial they wouldn't be snowflakes, they'd be "boomers"... :lol:

here's over twenty snowflakes in London.

they've taken years if not decades of sheer bloody minded hard work and self sacrifice to become a snowflake, and not a little talent and skill.
