What a palaver.

Hi, George,
Couldn't agree more! Snow loses its attraction after a few sessions.
It's hard work.
Best wishes,

Well, I've expressed my views on snow already on usw. It lost it's
appeal years ago. A long time ago on this newsgroup we suggested places
we'd like to live where a variety of weather experiences could be had.
At the time I suggested somewhere like the Austrian Alps where summer
snow could be accessed at 10,000'via a handy cable car, restaurant at
the top and pleasant walk down. I've not changed my mind on that one.
I just know that our road and pavements will now go through several days
of freeze/thaw with stretches of ice being left to their own devices.
The locals have become used to that but those not familiar with the area
still get caught out.
Anyway, must go, snow to clear.

(NB Looks like mid-table mediocrity/security for the Toon and Mackems
again this season)
