      Same could be said about deep snow causing chaos:- when they really mean 2mm of snow caused inexperienced drivers to crash

          No, what they really mean is a light dusting of snow aggravated by media hype caused lots of drivers to use the excuse that they were snowed in so wouldn't be coming to work today.
