department of terrible rhetoric

Clicking through channels on Sky yesterday, I really enjoyed this description of a programme on Channel 4 (could it have been five? I think not, but maybe, and it's not as if I even remember the name of the programme): 'In the first weeks of February, travellers were stranded and thousands of schools closed as Britain suffered its worst snowfalls in 18 years. This film documents that extraordinary week.'

Yes, 'that extraordinary week'. Can it only have been three weeks ago? It feels like five.
