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.
Would you like humbugs with that, sir?
