So it snowed overnight. About 10cm, maybe less. The local primary school was closed today, and will be closed tomorrow although we don't even know if there will be any more snow. Nursery shut at 4pm 'for the safety of the children and staff'. My usual train to work was cancelled. One of my colleagues spent 2 hours waiting for a train at Clapham junction. I managed to leave the house without falling over and I had no trouble driving the kids around. Am I being unreasonable to think that life shouldn't come to a standstill just because it has snowed a bit? In winter, at that? I mean, how on earth do people in the Alps or in Scandinavia cope?

To think the country needn't break down because of a bit of snow?
