Watching a pristine layer of snow, slowly melt away before the cold
air returns. All very sad.
Some of you in the SE have my commiserations :-)

Surely watching it melt away knowing that zonality was
coming would be even sadder?
At least this is only a temporary incursion of mild air for
you, and really just a partial thaw for me.
I fully expect there still to be full snow cover here
(albeit very depleted) by the end of the week.

There are many sadder things in this world than what Will has referred
to. My wife lost a wonderful, full of life, uncle this week to an
unexpected heart attack and this one thinks a layer of melting snow is
sadder.

Time to grow up Will, You really are getting carried away by your
fetish and you are, basically, talking rot.

It was just a turn of phrase, not meant to be taken literally!
I enjoy Will's enthusiasm, but all you do is take everything at face value
and attack him.

Agreed, but perhaps he can be excused for overreacting on this occasion,
given that this must be a very sad and stressful time for his family.
I'd like to extend my condolences to Dawlish's wife on the loss of her
uncle.
