SNOW-MAGEDDON! Britain paralysed with 50,000 BA passengers stranded, hundreds of schools shut and dangerous icy roads on 'Black Monday' - after lows of -12.2C overnight with WORSE still to come.

'Black Monday' with more snow due and swathes of ice on the roads as temperatures dropped to -8C,

Schools across the UK have been shut today after the country was hit by a so-called 'snowbomb' yesterday.

Thousands of homes were left without power and Brits faced travel chaos as trains and flights were cancelled.

In particular, Birmingham will grind to a halt on Monday after all of its schools will close because of the snow.

Fear not! The BBC is on the job:

... Extreme snowfall is actually an expected consequence of a warmer world...

Why do they call a day where things are brought to a halt by snow “ black Monday”? Shouldn’t be white Monday?

Yes, but that might be racist. 😂

"Muslims gather in protest as white snow covers London"

That's really what I click on the page to read.

I wonder if anyone ever accused Bing Crosby of being a racist, for singing that song?

They know, of course, but their latitude does not reflect their weather as ours in North America does.

Latitude Isn’t Everything (How the Gulf Stream Makes Europe Warm)

I lived in Europe for several years. Latitude-wise, I was deep into Canada (almost to the Hudson Bay). Weather-wise, no where near that. But the summers had daylight at 10:30pm, and in the winter it got dark around 3:15pm.

Looks like just another winter day in Pennsylvania. Did they stock up on milk, eggs, bread and beer?

-12.2C = 10 degrees Fahrenheit, for those of you playing along at home.

I think a group handed out a petition to do so to see if college students would sign it. Yup, they did.

College Students Sign ‘Petition’ to Ban ‘White Christmas’ Because It’s Racist

This is unexpected. Just three years ago I heard that there would be no more snow due to Global Warming. What happened? Surely not #FakeNews. Again. Or is it?

God made the snow the color it is. 😊
Speaking of that, I don’t think anyone today, would EVER make a movie called Snowwhite and the 7 vertically challenged guys.

That sounds like something Jesse Watters would do, as a prank, to see how many brainless idiots are out there. I think there are bunches of them.
