    Yeah, but it all depends on the frequency in which snow falls. In the highlands I imagine they would laugh at me sitting here in the home counties sitting at home with my 10cm of snow and laugh that everything got cancelled. But this is the first time I've seen snow since I've been here (two years). And people don't really know how to deal with it because they don't have to very often...

    It's the same in America. In Minneapolis, they'd laugh at me while they go to work in -30 degree weather with two meters of snow, but in Dallas (where I'm originally from) things shut down when any form of freezing precipitation comes close...they just don't have the capacity to deal with it, and it doesn't happen that often to want to...

    So yes, any excuse for a day off, and I'll take it :)

    well there is slight whiteness on ground after a heavy spell earlier, but has quitened off again. annoying i know the midlands has tons and im so jealous coz i remember the snow when i lived in brum - the biggest flakes of snow i ever saw...was awesome down there. ah well, the kiddies on my street have been having fun playing with snowballs so theres enough for them i spose :) me, i want my garden covered, so i can go outside an film a short juggling video - not gonna happen :( however, if it sticks in brum, im probably up there this weekend, could film in a park or something with friends...probably be too lazy by then though hehe
