Argh its just started here (Midlands) although I don't think it will stick. This is more about heavier snowfalls. It causes so much disruption in this country with regards to traffic conditions and school closures. Dh and I both work ft so a school closure means we either have to rely on my elderly parents or one of us has to take a day off and risk losing our jobs (both agency employees).
Then there is the danger of ungritted roads and tyres that don't cope with the snow very well, last year a journey that normally takes 10 mins took me over 2 hours, traffic just at a complete standstill, and its unsafe for pedestrians, particularly those who are unsteady on their feet to begin with.
I agree a fresh snowfall looks magical, until the cars have been through it a few times and then its just brown slush. It's cold and wet and never bloody happens on a Sunday when dh can be persuaded to take the kids sledging while I cook a roast (piss about on t'interweb)
So aibu? Or just a miserable twat. :)
