Bit more snow here. Alot of side roads closed because they are ice and hills. So there are alot of people that cant drive anywhere because of the ice on the roads. Cant walk because of ice on the pavement.
Was a big thing on the local news on it.
My road is fine though so im still getting out on bike alright

It must be cold - your apostrophe key appears to have frozen solid again.

Harsh.
But fair.

I bet we'll be snow free here in Oxon...    :thumbsup:

If you win this I shall be annoyed. I am just cancelling a training course to run in Oxford tomorrow and Thursday because the forecast for Oxfordshire is 15-30cm with localised accumulations of >40cm and the people are travelling from Bristol, Exeter, Reading and Brighton.

That's really serious stuff.

Why do so many of you actually WANT snow?

It generates inconvenience & frustration apart from it's potential to contribute to injury

Snowing a bit here, but not enough to get excited about.  i'm pleased i went for a ride before breakfast though :)

Waitrose just phoned to tell me there are roads blocked in the Forest of Dean.  I suppose it's very kind of them since Mrs MV works there...

I could tell it was cold on Sunday night when I visited the loo in our lovely 300 year old pub. The loos are a long way form the log burners and are unheated so I was surrounded by a warm cloud of vapour from my own wee, Lovely.
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

I want snow so my Mummy can go sledging with her grandchildren.
(Mum had great fun with this the week before last. We think she used the sledge left by the previous occupants of the house, who moved out in 1968...)

Precious memories need experiences to make them.

It looks lovely.
It gets people out as a community sledging etc, instead of sitting indoors in front of BeastEnders or Holby Shitty.
It's great going out for a walk in the evening, light enough to see and tramp through the woods, silent and free from traffic noise (because the snow absorbs any noise there is).
It's unusual enough to be novel for a short while, until next winter.

So I can go and play in it on my MTB, go running thought it in the woods etc.  And because at heart I'm still 8 years old.

Mrs MV, OTOH, hates it for just the reasons you suggest :)

Its fun, its snow, it looks nice and it is winter !

Now if we just could teach the British how to girt, clear the roads/pavements/bicycle lanes and how to drive in the snow. It would be a easy, nice and friendly as in Scandinavia, Russia and other places where they have snow.
