Drivers faced tricky journeys today as freezing Britain was hit by fog and ice with temperatures down to almost -12C for the second day in a row. The Met Office has issued yellow ‘be aware’ severe weather warnings for ice in Scotland and fog in the West Midlands as the landscape turned frosty. Dense freezing fog is expected to linger parts of England, with scattered light wintry showers forecast across the North and East later on. Swathes of the country shivered overnight as a widespread frost took hold and the mercury dipped to -11.6C in the Scottish Highlands. And forecasters said the Berkshire village of Upper Lambourn had the coldest night in England, where a low of -8.4C was recorded.

My daughter is at a school in northern England. She’s loving the snow. One of her friends there is from Australia and saw snow last week for the first time ever.

Globaloney experts wrong again.

Beautiful pictures. I hope the English muster the nerve to keep their country so it can continue to look like that.

Just one question: The Welsh — they use the English alphabet, but they seem to have forgotten about the vowels. Note the nice English (or I guess Welsh) ladies and their cute little daughters sitting outside the bucolic town of EGLWYSWRW. What’s up with that??

Lacking vowels is one thing, how about:

Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu.

Seriously, that’s a place name in Wales.

OOPS! THat’s in New Zealand! The one I was thinking of is

Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch.

Where did the oddball capital a’s with inverted umlauts come from? It’s a single word, FCOL
