It's almost the end of February, and here's the snow. In true British fashion, any precipitation of anything remotely white from the sky throws the whole country into a state of complete paralysis. What a good thing we don't have manna any more.
It does make you wonder what the difference is between countries such as Sweden and us. They expect snow, and cope with it when it happens. Over here, in Yorkshire, there has been what looks like about one inch, and traffic is snarling up at junctions and roundabouts, cars are swerving into each other and people are considering staying at home for the day.
Perhaps this country doesn't get enough snow. If we knew that every year we were going to be buried in the stuff, then we'd spend money on precautions and procedures to deal with it, but, of course, we don't.
Outside, it's started to come down again. I wonder if I should leave work early...?
