"Snow fatigued" - I'd never thought I'd hear that any time soon! But,
yes, all this snow is starting to get a bit boring (although quite a
few of my friends keep pestering my for more!).

No stamina, the youth of today. You should have tried living through
1962-3.

My memory of the 62/63 winter was that after the initial falls of snow it
was dry a lot of the time but with a persistent NE to E wind off the
continent and temperatures remained close to freezing during the day. It had
a devastaing effect on bird populations which took a number of years to
recover.
