Snow!

This was written in June and drawn in November, expecting the snow which actually fell in December to fall in January like it normally does.

Britain can't cope with snow. A centimetre of snow will stop the trains running*. An inch of snow is enough to shut the country down. Two inches of snow is snowmageddon. Last month we had nine inches - civilization survived barely intact, but sales of those lawn ornaments of fake Christmas snowmen holding signs saying 'Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow' plummeted.

The photo shows a deadly smattering of snow falling on The Pantiles in Tunbridge Wells. As you can see, conditions are already so bad that it's regressed to the Eighteenth Century.

* To be fair to SouthEastern Trains, a single leaf on the line is normally enough to stop their trains running.
