Believe it? Care either way? I'm off and not going far so it makes little difference to me. I really need to catch up on a backlog of TV and/or comics anyway.

2 to 5 degree average temp?

Hardly the winter apocalypse.

I'd imagine if it gets that cold in London it'll be enough for a one hour BBC special though. Combine it with a tube strike and they'll probably switch to the Emergency Broadcast System.

Despite me better judgement, I miss snow. I'd love a proper covering of the stuff.

2 - 5°C is okay. We had -4°C here the last 2 weeks, plus freezing rain and ice covered roads (up to 2cm thick).

Also you can build a decent fire with the comics if things get really cold.

There was a Morrison X-Men graphic novel in The Works for a quid earlier - I still didn't buy it.

What's this? Marvel doing a story about their heroes going to a supermarket for weekly groceries and then later to their local cut price stationers for some cheap art equipment?

Don't encourage them - they'll try anything at this point. From their perspective, all your story's missing is a transexual refugee from another planet. Who hooks up with *throws dart at map of the world*...

I want snow. Does that make me a bad person?

Nah, I like snow as well.
It's especially good if it is sufficient for them to send everyone home from work early (which has happened once or twice).

I love snow, even if it's only so I can watch idiot 4x4 drivers getting stuck, and poor old BMW drivers bouncing from gutter to gutter. :twisted:
