-0.2°C here on the seafront. Slight melt and icicles readily forming.
Off to Greenwich again at 5am, just hope there aren't so many idiots
driving at speed as there were on the way back this evening. Counted 7
seperate accidents. What planet are they on?

Also light snow shower in Rayleigh. When I came out of the pub (coke
only!)there was a fresh dusting. The A127 has NOT been gritted between
progress Road and the Rayleigh Weir but either has been past Basildon or
the slightly lower amount of snow has cleared. Actually driving was
remarkably good and most people were below 40 mph. Very light traffic as
well. No side roads, even main ones, have been gritted.

Good point but I'm tempted to ask too, exactly what planet are the
strange people who seem to be obsessed with snow and cold weather on?

We're currently snowed in with about a foot or so of snow, plus some
mild drifting, can't see us getting out on the road to the village for a
few days yet. We are isolated, way out in the country amongst the hills,
unlike most of the bizarre (thanks to Tudor for the description) urban
snow worshippers.

Cold and snow is the pits, it causes human suffering and most evident to
me it's killing animals. I've been out all day on the hills in very deep
snow indeed, I couldn't be arsed measuring the depth because I was too
busy digging sheep out of snow drifts, most were alive but not all. Same
as the wildlife, I do what I can to feed the birds, rabbits and polecats
etc., which live round us but I suspect it isn't enough. Of course the
urban warriors haven't got a clue, their main worries seem to be the Met
Office and if it's warnings were appropriate or accurate enough for
their area.

Jees never mind all that, look out for icicles.

Sentiments echoed here...................but when you've got a chance
of it actually snowing "properly", all reason actually flies out of
the door and hops down the middle of the road doing jigs.

Strange that. I'm watching mine doing some odd kind of Celtic dance
down the white lines right now......................

Must be lovely living in a village Jim in this sort of weather, but
part of course this is one of the drawer backs. It's similar to the
moaners with regards to Southend Airport expansion, the airports been
there longer than most of us, so why buy a house near it?

Yes. Especially the ticks and other parasites. Not to mention all the
aliens from warmer climes that have been usurping the indigenous
populous.

It could be said these cold winters are a blessing to a beleaguered
natural balance.

We can't control the weather, so we might as well try to enjoy what we
get. (Though I must admit that when it's pouring with rain, blowing a
gale and 5C I rather struggle to view it optimistically!) So I don't
feel guilty for letting out my inner child when we have snow.

Most types of weather have their downside for somebody. I wonder whether
those who enjoy sunny weather in summer should feel guilty because it
could lead to an increase in skin cancer? And prolonged hot, dry weather
makes life hard for farmers and wildlife, and can threaten our water
supply.

If one's looking for positive aspects of the snowy weather, it makes
what is generally a very dark time of year quite literally a lot
brighter, and I suspect must help those suffering from SAD.
