Default Blizzards? What blizzards?


It's pretty grim down here Dundee way. it's stooped snowing, but
there's several centimetres, and I'm not going anywhere today. The big
question is will the post still get through?

When "they" say "blizzards", I don't know what they mean any more. i
take a blizzard to be snow with gale force, or at least strong, winds.
It's coming just to mean "quite heavy snow". Even the wife uses it that
way now, in spite of many years of correction. I think "they" now use
blizzard in the same way as everyone else.

Disgusted, of near Dundee.

Woke this morning to grey skies, light to moderate wind and
thawing snow.
No sign of the blizzards forecast for last night.
