There's Snow Business Like Snow Business

Like so many places at the moment, Britain is currently in the grip of one of its biggest cold snaps for decades. Now sure, us Brits do love to talk about our weather, so I think deep down we're all secretly delighted that we finally have something worth talking about!

Now, whether or not it is Fred Barnard that we have to thank for the saying "A picture is worth a thousand words", this image below captured by Nasa's Terra satellite on 7th January 2009 at 11.50 UTC certainly echoes that saying. And those of you that know me well know that I have always had a certain penchant for these 'pictures' being of the aerial/satellite nature!
