Not that it's anything like as severe, but as it happens I was caught
out medically yesterday as well. I was wearing my thick fleece for a
change (and a good decision that was!), but had forgotten to transfer
my Tegretol tablets (I'm epileptic) into them, so given that it took
five hours to get home, was very overdue for that evening's dose.

I'm diabetic and I always keep a Mars bar or something in the car - I
needed it
last night. I also had a strong desire to create some yellow snow whilst
stuck
in the gridlock - I just about managed it home !

As am I and aswell as that, I always keep a 3 month advance supply of
insulin in the fridge so that I will not run out on an average snowy day in
January - or even a 1963/79 type winter, or when delivery/production issues
may cause temporary supply problems.

Perhaps the Parents/Guardians of the girl above should take this into
account rather than blaming everyone for enjoying a particular type of
weather which last a day or two and was extremely well forecast in advance.

Cold weather/snow causes me no problems directly, hot weather is a different
matter. Last summer was NOT pleasant for me.
