Beast From The East Joined Forces With Emma Storm

For the 31 years I have been living in London, UK, this winter snow 2018 has been one of the most ferocious one I have ever seen.

There have been fatalities due to the freezing weather.  Public transports and the traffics , of course, as always are the first one affected.

Apparently because UK generally gets a mild winter and we do not get many inches of snow, the Government thought it was not worth to invest billions in once in a decade of 6 inches of snow.  We just have to grin and bear it for a few days and hope for the best.

Perhaps a rethink is now needed.

This 2018 winter of discontent is due to the unwelcome beast from the East, which may be a product of global warming.  It is a polar vortex, which is a mass of super extreme cold air which sits on the top of the north and south poles.

What made the beast from the East more ferocious is the 70mph strength of Emma Storm coming from Portugal.  When she met the beast, all snow broke  loose, causing disruptions in many parts in the UK.
