How would you know! You're not even in the UK! Perhaps, just perhaps you are taken in by all this nonsense? How about you read the comments from people that actually live in the UK:-
Perhaps from watching the news? Looking at recorded temperatures on weather websites, including the UK's Met Office? Seeing posts on weather forums? Seeing posts by family & friends on Facebook? How about YOU actually look at the recorded statistics from elsewhere in the UK & stop using your own backyard as a climate reference point for the entire UK...
The person who sent the tweet was getting a bit confused, it isn't an extra 2300 from the cold snap. A charity that campaigns for fuel poverty is "estimating" that deaths for the cold snap "could" average at 100 per day, when the average in a normal winter is 80 per day. The cold snap only lasted a few days, so I don't see where the 2300 extra deaths comes from lol...

You live in the UK, yet have absolutely no clue
Nobody seems to want to comment on what the rest of the UK seem to think:-
Me, everybody I work with, every one of my friends and family plus the population commenting on the Daily Fails awful attempts at scaremongering are in agreement -4 or -5 degrees C lows for 4 days and snow does not equate to a 'Beast from the East' lol Some of the news reporting has been positively cringe worthy, hence the response from the rest of the world as detailed in the attachment.

And you don't want to comment on actual facts, like the coldest ever March day being recorded & the worst blizzards in the SW since 1991
I couldn't give two hoots what the Daily Mail/Express say, I don't read them, I get my actual facts from credible sources such as the Met Office

I don't deny there was a cold snap but in my view it was the severity of it that was wildly exaggerated. The actual fact is it has been far colder and far snowier on many occasions and yet the way the media carried on you would have thought that the end of the world was near, I don't deny it was cold, I simply suggest that the reporting was way over the top and what I posted simply shows that I am certainly not alone in this assumption. People emptied the supermarket shelves here of bread and milk (as well as other things) and yet the snow lasted a few hours, perhaps it was the scaremongering that drove them to such foolishness? Were people expected to be snowed in for a month? You would have thought so considering the news coverage. I can only imagine what it would be like if we actually had a severe winter (and eventually one will come along), I'm not sure we would survive!
