Yes it's time for media cliches to be wheeled out. Lots of snow equals WHITE OUT, WHITE HELL, SNOW JOKE, etc.
Interesting watching the rolling news channels to see the use of the word COULD. An outside broadcast had a news reporter standing with a free flowing motorway behind him. It could, he said, be white out at any time and traffic could come to stand still.
That's the problem with outside broadcast - first you have to get there in which case it is probably not as bad as it is somewhere else. Lots of the BBC coverage has been from the NE of England which is suffering but not as badly as some parts of the country.
Watch out for the word could!
