It may well have been this one, which has now made it into Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Satellite_image_of_snow-covered_Great_Britain_on_7_January_2010.jpg

prove you wrong.  Remember: when the emperor looks naked, the emperor *is*
naked, the truth and a lie are not "sort-of the same thing" and there is
no aspect, no facet, no moment of life that can't be improved with pizza.
