Too much or not enough snow
Organisers of the winter Olympics in Vancouver are refusing to consider a last minute venue change for the Games amid an unseasonably warm weather front that is threatening the competition. With just four days until the opening ceremonies, the Canadian city still has not seen any snow.Meanwhile the U.S. east coast has been buried in a two-foot blanket of snow after the worst blizzard in 90 years - and forecasters have warned that some of it could be heading to the UK this week
The major storm was sweeping across the mid-Atlantic coast with mountainous areas of Maryland and West Virginia set to be covered in three feet of snow. At least two people were killed and more than 200,000 homes were without power due to massive snow drifts. The weather has crippled all transport services with all flights in the Washington-Baltimore area's airports and at Philadelphia International Airport cancelled.
