20th January - Today's News: Ice Storm Adds to Pacific NW Weather Woes
If snow wasn't bad enough? Now Oregon is battling floods but after falling tree kills ATV rider in WA ice storm, the Northwest hopes for reprieve from powerful storm.
Meanwhile, extreme and wacky weather continues as record lows hit parts of Canada
A couple of video stories with record snow fall in Japan and in North Africa, snowstorm 'unusual sight' in Algeria. Here in Britain all eyes on on developments later next week with growing indication we could finally get a proper cold, wintry spell of weather to herald in February. Whether it brings any snow to Evesham remains to be seen though - we've not had any since 2010!
Mozambique and SA's Kruger Park hit by deadly floods after TS Dando.

And good news for us in the Campaign for Real Time as Marck D'Arcy at the BBC asks is night falling on Daylight Saving Bill? I do like "Jacob Rees-Mogg's proposal for an independent Somerset time zone, and Philip Davies' proposal to call it the "Berlin Time" Bill."
