Well the simple answer actually comes from a old, favourite song of ours:
"Let it snow, let it snow and snow".
And the funny thing is, I'm just not kidding.
Think about it. When it snows:
Schools shut down. Businesses shut down. Roads become dead. People stay at home and salt truly comes into it element. No more making fish and chips more interesting. No it's actually saving lives.
Anyway, we all love snow. It's pretty, it's fun and it is generally highly anticipated when it comes to winter.
BUT have you noticed that we want snow, right up until we actually get it?
Snow is an amazing phenomenon (oh my god I actually spelt that correctly!).....for a day.
Then we get constantly reminded my grandparents and news channels alike: It will become slush. It will freeze. It will kill people.
Suddenly this frozen icing for buildings is a countrywide deathtrap. Schizophrenic weather? How cool does that sound?!
So lets just sum up shall we?
The first day of snow is bliss. It's untouched and looks amazing. Kids go absolutely mental over it all. And everyone enjoys some time off.
After that, it's a murderous ground covering that makes you bored, housebound and it buggers up your Christmas plans. (If I receive nothing for Christmas it's not ParcelForce's fault [for once]. It's the elements!)
I think it is the fastest mood change in something, matched only by the switch from good to shite of Northern Rock. In both cases, everybody's opinions on both change overnight.
Still, enjoy it somehow. I always manage too :)
Merry Christmas
