Yay!

It's snowing in Reading...

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.

Snow is indeed great : )

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

More snow

It is also snowing in Oxford. Large "we mean it" flakes. This means the world is very cold and wet. I am not managing the enthusiasm thing.

I might enthuse a bit if it looks pretty.

That's consoling - it's packed in in Reading, and not so much as a light covering to show for it :(

Hmm, the large flakes do appear to tire the clouds out quickly though. I wouldn't get your hopes up.

What you need is a snow machine.

It did indeed snow in Reading *dances in snow*

Am I the only person who dislikes snow?

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?

The cold and wet is worth it. When else do you get the chance to throw, slide on, and build things out of weather?

Ooooh, yes please!

Still not convinced.

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.
