In what way is an "obsession" with very cold winter weather different
from your "obsession" with heat waves in the Summer? Both are
uncomfortable if not dangerous for many people, especially the
elderly. But as we can't alter the weather, why not simply enjoy what
we like when it happens, whether it be hot or cold? Complaining about
people liking and wanting things over which they have no control seems
to be a bit pointless.



Agreed but the way the snowballers obsess about the hint of a cold snap
you wouldn't think it was pointless.

Don't tell me Dave you've got to be another cold weather fanatic.

Trouble is Denis - you miss the point. Our hobby is the weather - collecting
weather if you like. Are you telling me as a stamp collector you would go
round ripping 1st class stamps off every envelope you came across or if you
were a bird watcher you travel the country to get more pictures of robins?
We tend to like rarities, some like cold spells, others heatwaves, others
tornados. We don't decry your hobbies if you have any so let us have ours.

Cheers, Dave
