Default Why do you all want snow.

Its much like people here wishing for severe gales and thunderstorms in the
summer, yes great to witness but sinister nonetheless i do think sometimes
people don't or are not aware of the consequences.

Ok , I love snow

Its nice and cool , romantic , fun for kids , even brings out a dunkirk
spirit in little communitys.

However , I know one person who will loose several days pay if he cannot

get
to work. An elderly couple who need meals on wheels, and then theres

the
countless idiots who will try and drive to work in the hope that the

boss
says "well done. Have a medal" when in reality they get there and find

no
other person has turned up.

Get a grip guys. Snow is nice when your 10 , not when your 50. I guess a

lot
off you would change your minds if you ended up with severe weather

damage
to you r houses , relatives in hospital due to slipping on ice.

For me , I will wake up , see 8inches of snow , close curtains and go

back
to bed.

My ideal situation though will be to get to work , get snowed in for

three
days , and cover the shifts who cant get to work. Loadsa Money
