UK Snow Bomb Warning Horror



UK snow bomb hitting sooner than expected in Beast from the East warning


The next bout of snowfall in the UK is set to arrive sooner than expected, with flurries predicted to start as early as next week. A significant snowfall, dubbed a ' snow bomb', has been forecast for Wednesday, 21st January by a leading forecaster from British Weather Services.


I wonder when snow bombs were invented? For example, did Charles Dickens know anything of snow bombs as he wrote A Christmas Carol? Apparently not.

On consulting Google Ngram Viewer, we discover without even the faintest flicker of surprise that references to snow bombs became more common as heavy snowfalls became less prevalent.
