I make it 7 -3 in favour of "****ed off with it already". Which I'm
staggered at but feel more positive because I must admit I tended to believe the pro snow/slush lobby on this one. Those I put as in favour of the motion, My Motion that is, GKN, Chris Smith, Dave Cornwall Denis Allen, Neil, Anne Burgess (assumed result) Joe Eggington. Stalwarts and die hards: Darren Prescott, Will Hand and someone called Ian Finding are as today at 1425hrs Thanks to you all. Today's weather is even more wretched but I guess the die hards are revelling in it. Its been snowing all morning here. I bet Will is really jealous. Dave R [west London] |

Dave R [west London] You can add me against the motion, I'm definitely pro. It's March, so far preferable to have cold snow than cold rain, it's far more interesting. You can hardly complain because that's the type of weather we get this time of year. 70+ we can have from April to October if you like, but the white stuff is increasingly rare so deserves to be appreciated. Imagine the discussion in your household 20 years from now, as you wax lyrical about the good old days of snow to your grand-children on your knee, as they listen open-mouthed with incredulity as you describe events you can remember when you were their age. (Apologies for ageing you, or not!). Bring it on. (Just had a mini-blizzard here). -- David Mitchell, 70m amsl, Langtoft, East Riding of Yorkshire. |

The only thing I had against the present cold spell was the wind (which I never like anyway) but that has now dropped out almost entirely down here and we have had a couple of quite heavy snow showers with the stuff falling almost vertically. Rather nice. Another point about March snow, certainly in the present era, is that it is unlikely to last long whereas in Dec/Jan/Feb you could be stuck with it for some time. A couple of inches and the roads down here just jam up completely and I like to get out. Tudor Hughes, Warlingham, Surrey. |

Dave R [west London] ---------------------- Can't imagine how you put me in favour of your motion! I am probably second only to Will on here for being a snow fan. Possibly my "call me Lily" as a lily livered follower slipped passed your wit. Most of the other snow lovers probably didn't feel the need to defend their personal preferences ;-) Dave Cornw E ll. |

Got on with some work in the garden without having the distraction of snow. It'll snow again up here for sure. Gorgeous views from the house today too, you could almost touch the sea 12 miles away the air is so clear. Will (Haytor, Devon, 1017 feet asl) -- |

Dave R [west London] You can count me in the pro snow lobby until around May 2nd when the ski season in the Alps finishes. After that I'll willingly cross the chamber to sunshine and showers (and not too much heat!) |
