Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/February 2009 Great Britain and Ireland snowfall
Sorry to spoil the party, even though when I go against the herd instinct|herd it's usually to defend articles against pile-on deletion !votes. I must say that I'm rather bemused by this article, and by the fact that so many people are defending it. I lived through this, and yes, it was a minor inconvenience, but should it really be considered to be an encyclopedic event going beyond #NEWS? All of the references are to news articles dated from when this was happening, rather than any sources discussing it as a historic event. If equivalent events in the United States have articles then I would question those as well. Many more severe weather events happen outside the Western Anglophone world that nobody would dream of creating an English Wikipedia article about
