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.

"AND snow is WHITE."

Ah, but Disney is introducing a boy princess. Look it up.

White Christmas must learn to Coexist.

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

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

When we lived in Haiti I vividly remember our first Christmas there. Walking downtown PaP one of the Lebanese-owned shops had Christmas music blasting outside. I conducted my business there and the same younger Haitian male was there singing along to "White Christmas" in his stunted English.

As we exchanged pleasantries, I asked him, in Creole, what he thought "White Christmas" meant. His reply, I kid you not, was that he wanted a Christmas like white people had. He was perplexed, to say the least, that anyone would sing about snow...

excellent shopping list ...

Oh Noes! an inch of snow!

[tgusa]

Racists.

Don’t forget that the song premiered in the film Holiday Inn where Bing Crosby sang a song in honor of Lincoln’s Birthday — in blackface!

Tala Hajaj, a freelance hair stylist from Sidcup, Kent, told MailOnline her 70-year-old disabled mother was forced to wait ten hours yesterday for her BA flight to Riyadh from Heathrow, only to be told it was cancelled.

Muzzies and snow. Two things that will destroy today's England.

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

We always laugh when we see people running to the store for the "milk, eggs and bread" snow warnings.

My son says, "Milk, bread and eggs?"

"Why do they always want French toast in the snow?"

Ah, but Disney is introducing a boy princess. Look it up.

Why am I not surprised?
I think Walt Disney is turning over in his grave at this time.

In Maryland, they stock up on toilet paper! Have yet to figure that one out.

Don’t forget that the song premiered in the film Holiday Inn where Bing Crosby sang a song in honor of Lincoln’s Birthday — in blackface!

Can you imagine someone trying that today? Holiday Inn huh? I wonder if he solved Korman’s enigma while he was there? 😀

A) They realize that there’s a lot less on a roll.

B) There are females in the household.

C) Sears no longer prints catalogues.

We get milk, bread, eggs, and frozen pizza: milk sandwiches and pizza omelettes.

[DuncanWaring]

... except for the milk and bread.

[Col Frank Slade]

I gather Heathrow Airport has no snow removal equipment ?

[PAR35]

Maybe some of the Muzzies will get cold enough to go back to their warm homelands.

[DuncanWaring]

They probably had some at one point, but sold it due to incipient global warming.

FYI the earth is tilted...
