Unfortunately most of you urban snow worshippers don't have a clue about
the damage it does.

Try it here just now and see what happens when your childish obsession
takes a hold. It's death for the animals and financial ruin for farmers.

Oh not the tired old 'liking snow is childish' argument again.
Of course ones's like or dislike of a weather type is going to
be coloured by how much one is adversely affected by it.
Perhaps you might like it if you lived in Essex?
I'd certainly hate it if I was a sheep farmer on the Isle of man.

A day or two of snow like we've got here, preventing you from getting to
Tesco would have most of you snowballers crying foul. Whingeing about the
council not doing enough.

That sounds harsh I know but sometimes ignorance is highly
irritating.

Now that's not fair. Us townies aren't ignorant of the effects of
snow, we've all seen the horrendous pictutes of sheep being
pulled from drifts on the IOM. And anyhow, what difference
would it make if I hated snow anyway, it's effects would still
be the same.

Grow up Joe.

Perhaps you should take a step back and appreciate that
the vast majority of people aren't affected by snow like hill
farmers are, so it's perfectly reasonable for them to like it,
whilst acknowledging the dangers to some.

This brings up the question in my mind of whether it is disrespectful
(or even immoral) to get enjoyment out of something that causes
significant harm or destruction to others. It appears that Jim thinks yes.
