Heavy snow and ice cause disruption across the UK Heavy snow falls across Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland Continue reading the main story Frozen

Several UK airports are closed and train services have been cancelled due to heavy snowfall in many areas.

Police in Northern Ireland - where conditions are said to be the worst in 25 years - and parts of Scotland are warning against non-essential travel. As they always do, everyone hears the warnings so much.

In Northern Ireland 700 schools were closed! Including Grosvenor Grammer School, Belfast which is where I go, so all good.

But I may love the snow but as always the whole of the UK is in a crisis with the snow.


Korean Crisis

Well, this is the first post. And it seems we have a real crisis on our hands with North Korea now. As I type this there is a serious threat of an attack on South Korea very soon, and anything could happen with North Korea. The South have decided to carry out live-fire drills on Yeonpyeong Island, the island which was succumbed to shelling a few weeks ago, when 4 people died. This has not been approved by Pyongyang, who want South Korea to stop the drills immediately, and have threatened military action. Surrounding countries are sounding their concerns, but nothing, it seems, will stop North Korea's belligerent behavior of recent times. It's just a wait-and-see situation, as the unpredictability of Kim Jong-Il and his son, Kim Jong-Un, is, well, unpredictable.
