Too much snow
 

Well, there is in my garden right now.

I guess next door have decided to use their conservatory, despite it
being so cold outside and the whole thing covered in a thick layer (4"+)
of snow. Well it was till the whole lot slipped off this morning, half
of it landing in my garden, smashing plant pots and the water take off
from the down pipe into the water butts.

As I've said often enough .....

I DO NOT LIKE SNOW ! ! ! !

I love snow - but only in the right places. Which do *not*
include roads and pavements, or avalanching off roofs.

You have my sympathy.

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.

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.

Grow up Joe.

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.

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.

Jim, I appreciate how deadly snow can be on humans or animals. I see
that it can be devastating, on farmers and families. I feel for anyone
that loses their livihood, or close family member.

I don;t know if you noticed I but a winking face at the end of my
message to Jim of Northampton. I saw that he was a ranting snow hater,
and wanted to play him up.

I don;t like snow, however, has with anyone that rants I want to play
them up to get a response.

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.

And exactly what difference does it make? Will the farmer be happier for
knowing that the whole country were united behind his futile hope for
fairer weather?

Would a single animal be saved if only people would stop looking forward
to some snow?

The point is the snow that I enjoy isn't the same snow that is burying
sheep on the IOM.
If I was getting pleasure from the sight of dead lambs in snowdrifts
then he would most certainly have a point.

Can't enjoy peanuts because some people die from an allergy to peanuts.

Can't enjoy too much sun as some people suffer from an allergy to the
sun.

Can't enjoy the scent of flowers or new-mown hay because some people
suffer from an allergy to pollen or may have a fatal asthma attack.

Can't enjoy motoring because thousands die on the road every year.

Can't enjoy dry weather because crops may fail.

Can't enjoy rain because some may get too much and get flooded - and
crops may fail.

Can't enjoy a blustery day as someone may be injured by falling trees
or masonry - and crops may fail.

Can't enjoy a thunderstorm because someone may be struck by lightning
- and, through hail damage, crops may fail.

Can't enjoy alcohol as some people become addicted and heavy drinkers
live shorter lives than moderate drinkers.

Can't enjoy being teetotal (really?) because teetotallers live shorter
lives than moderate drinkers.


Can't win.
