Are you saying Age UK shouldn't be listened to?
It is a 100% fact that the colder it gets the more old people die.

You obviously failed to read what I was quoting.

I read it and it is based around Age UK voicing their concerns.

Here's the headline -
Britain braced for deadly freeze: Arctic blast so severe it could kill one person every seven minutes, charity warns, with temperatures set to plummet to -15C and yet MORE snow on the way

 

[ikillbears]

^^ that has to be a daily mail headline

 

[RetiredGreyFox]

For all the children on here, same story but from a different source -

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-britain-could-see-15c-overnight-9984967.html

A Met Office spokesperson told The Independent that the UK could expect the coldest weather overnight Sunday to Monday, but cautioned that forecasts of -15C would only be felt in Scottish glens and isolated northern pockets.
For the most part, there will be widespread frost and further south we could see some areas dip below -3C. Areas in the south-east will probably hover around 0C,” he said.

Not exactly The Day After Tomorrow...

Emphasis on could.

Daily Mail weather headline translation: there will be weather, we just don't know what kind.

Cat and Fiddle road is impassable apparently.

It's also been on BBC News and Sky News and for old age pensioners it might as well be The Day After Tomorrow.

Met Office, BBC News, Sky News, Age Uk but children would rather call the Daily Mail out.
Because of this cold spell A&Es are on red alert, people can't get beds and operations are being cancelled but let's have a go at The Daily Mail.

Had a nice trip to work yesterday from wenfordbridge to Launceston ,the snow seemed really heavy past Delphi bridge and on the moors but never really settled and no trace in launceston,maybe there is something I miss about west Yorkshire after all

 

[Macro]

So far down south the most it qualifies as is "a bit chilly"

 

[Ryan-3]

Thankfully it isn't lying here. Just a brief bit of light snow from time to time. Jumper worthy weather.

A nice "sunny" day and we don't need any white stuff.

Which is what the Met Office said it would be.
