doesnt anyone like snow anymore?


or is this old skool u.s.w psychology at work

don't like sitting for hours in traffic jams, like my neighbour last
winter. *Or they have interests or a social or cultural life they wish

confined to their houses because the roads are too treacherous or

Warm = Good, except on this group, obviously, which contains some of
the most bizarrely unrepresentative people I have ever come across.
If you enjoy battling the elements for its own sake then good luck to
you but I've got better things to do.



I'll say this - it's 'interesting' and challenging to forecast snow
but I couldn't agree more with the above - and I thought I was alone
on weather forums. It's nice to find a kindred spirit. I fear,
however, that we are in a very small minority.
