Of course, this does mean that the trains, which have only just started running again after the flooding, may stop again at any moment. Leaving me stranded at work.
I don't care. Snow's great.

Last time it snowed properly in Oxford (2-3 years ago?) A group of ~10 of us built the sort of snowman I neveer quite managed to build as a child (about 5 ft tall, we started rolling his body about 500 metres down the road) I'll admit it was good fun, but it didn't last very long, until I had to leave and go home pretty much.
I think it's the fact that I'm not allowed to opt out of it and it makes various daily things that much more difficult/dangerous to accomplish.
Whilst happy to take the humbug I'll pass on the visits by the ghosts of snowfall past, present and future if you don't mind.

and given where you work, you'd at least be stranded in good company and have no shortage of tea!
More snow

Date: 2003-01-09 06:44 am (UTC)Sure it looks pretty, but that's all there is to it. Once you try and interact with it in any meaningful way you get cold and wet very quickly.
Would you like humbugs with that, sir?
Date: 2003-01-09 08:37 am (UTC)Ooooh, yes please!
