Can anyone here manage it?

I never can, though that might be partly because they generally occur on
muggy nights where it's hard to drop off anyway.


I find it difficult, but mainly because of the child in me, you remember
when you was a kid and it was snowing outside, you just had to keep getting
up and looking out of the curtains.


As I recall, it was far more often a case of looking out of the window
and wondering 'where is that snow they forecast?'


Yep. I can remember many disappointments, notably that Saturday night in
February 1978 when the great West Country snowstorm failed to spread
across into SE England as had been forecast.
