![]() "John Hall" wrote in message ... Aren't people only saying that it's infantile to kick up a fuss if you don't get it? Mostly, yes. And I would agree. I would also say that some of the drama certain people make of models flipping wildly (still 5 days out!) is somewhat childish. But the actual snow itself? I love it! We either get it or we don't. Merry Christmas, Lawrence; Merry Christmas everyone. Merry Christmas Mr Lawence! Col -- Bolton, Lancashire. 160m asl. |

It causes a large increase in fuel usage - leading to increased CO2 output. d. It causes a reduction in the amount I can go out on my bike. All of which is true, but does not necessarily answer the question. From the point of view of the inner child - infant if you really must - it means - much more reflected light to offset the short days and snow to play with. These are good things in themselves. The drawbacks remain whether or not you enjoy the benefits, so there's no point in not enjoying the benefits. Anyway, equip your bike with chunky tyres and go and have fun, Chris. -- Peter Thomas |

People die, both directly (hypothermia) and indirectly (increased road accidents, influenza etc) as a result of cold weather. People die in prolonged hot weather - see summer 2003 in France. People die in road accidents in fog. People die in road accidents in heavy rain. People die in road accidents on icy roads. People die in severe gales. Not much interesting weather left is there after taking out that lot...... Col -- Bolton, Lancashire. 160m asl. |
