Well here too, but it's not so surprising as it's Sweden. It's fun driving in the snow and ice, I just got the opportunity to test the stability protection on my new car :D

And my dog just had his first snow experience, he loved it... eating snow, digging etc.

Because they're southern. We battle through floods, earthquakes, and blizzards with barely a mention on the national news. The South get's a lick of snow, the capital grinds to a halt and the news coverage is apocalyptic.

Don't Play Stationary 4 ever. Switch!

We got a lovely frost on the trees this morning. Much nicer than the past couple weeks of -30º weather that burst a pipe in my workplace and nearly killed my houseplants.

We've had snow for a while now. A few days ago we had a decent size storm that dumped 2-3" (5-7.5cm) over a few hours. It has also been bitter cold, so the snow hasn't melted either.

Snow is a mythical substance to me. I'm still not entirely sure it exists.

If it rains in London, it's not news.

If it rains in the Sahara Desert, it's news.

Hypocrisy?

thats a rather poor analogy.

lets face it... southerners are soft when it comes to a bit of snow and slush.... actually... southerners are just soft.

If you get snow for half the year, it's not news.

We get snow once in a decade. We're allowed to write articles about it.

we dont get snow half the year... we get it in the winter, maybe once or twice every year properly, and light dustings more regularly during those same periods.  A couple fo years ago  I was snowed in my home for about 3 days... couldnt move the car. No mention. 

the news is london centric and its annoying.

Go find a Manchester-based news site, then.
