I'm pleased Armstrong chose to correct himself re "snow in Rome".

Just for clarification, the impression was also given that it was snowing in London, with the comment: "Marty; I live just down the street from your old place in Kensington. It is snowing already. I have never seen it turn so cold so fast...Cheers from the new Winter Wonderland"

I'm in the UK. I can guarantee it has not been snowing! Currently 16C in Wales.

I wish he would check his facts more often before jumping-in, when looking for examples to illustrate his latest blog posts. It compromises his wider credibility.
