Record-breaking?
Big headline:
Moscow blanketed by record snowfall
"A record-breaking snowfall in Moscow has disrupted flights and created havoc on the roads."
Wowie! I know Moscow is a super-snowy super-wintery place, so it must be about 100 inches to break their records!
"The weather service said today that a third of November's typical amount of snow had fallen in the past 24 hours, creating a 4.7in (12cm) cover - and more is forecast."
Huh? FOUR INCHES? We had four inches a couple weeks ago, and we hardly noticed it.
"Roads in the capital were clogged up and about 70 flights were disrupted."
That sounds more like the way Atlanta or Miami would respond to four inches of snow. Seriously, is Moscow in Florida? Is its reputation all wrong?
