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

The fact is, people can die in traffic accidents any time of the year. People
can fall down the stairs, trip in the dark and so on.

Likewise, your house can easily be damaged by an electrical fire. Should we all
stop using electricity?

I haven't seen decent snow for nearly ten years, and I doubt I'll see any in the
next week either. If the public transportation infrastructure breaks down
because of a snowflake hitting London, then blame successive Governments for
cutting back on public services whilst whining how we all should be using them!
