Sometimes, quite often, in fact, it’s only when extreme weather turns up on people’s doorstep that they start to take it seriously. And – let’s face it – even then they might not bother.

We mention all this because of this particular photo which has just gone wildly viral over on Twitter, and it’s the most awfully on-point thing you’ll see this year.
