Hello all.
I would just like to pose the question on this NG as to why it is perceived
by some as infantile to want snowy cold weather?


a. People die, both directly (hypothermia) and indirectly (increased
road accidents, influenza etc) as a result of cold weather.


People die in prolonged hot weather - see summer 2003 in France.
People die in road accidents in fog.
People die in road accidents in heavy rain.
People die in road accidents on icy roads.
People die in severe gales.

Not much interesting weather left is there after taking out that lot......
