Thanks to you all. Today's weather is even more wretched but I guess the
die hards are revelling in it. Its been snowing all morning here. I bet
Will is really jealous.

You can add me against the motion, I'm definitely pro.
It's March, so far preferable to have cold snow than cold rain, it's far
more interesting. You can hardly complain because that's the type of weather
we get this time of year. 70+ we can have from April to October if you like,
but the white stuff is increasingly rare so deserves to be appreciated.
Imagine the discussion in your household 20 years from now, as you wax
lyrical about the good old days of snow to your grand-children on your knee,
as they listen open-mouthed with incredulity as you describe events you can
remember when you were their age. (Apologies for ageing you, or not!).
Bring it on.

I agree with all that. The only thing I had against the
present cold spell was the wind (which I never like anyway) but that
has now dropped out almost entirely down here and we have had a couple
of quite heavy snow showers with the stuff falling almost vertically.
Rather nice. Another point about March snow, certainly in the present
era, is that it is unlikely to last long whereas in Dec/Jan/Feb you
could be stuck with it for some time. A couple of inches and the
roads down here just jam up completely and I like to get out.
