Snow, snow, snow!

I've been a cheeky resident of the United Kingdom for 17 years and I've never seen snowfall as heavy as this. According to the news channels, it's the heaviest snowfall the country has had for about 30 years. Our area's covered in a layer around 23cm deep. Not very impressive by Americas standards, but by ours it is.

Today was spent crawling around in the snow like a child - naturally. As any sensible student would do, the first action of the day was checking the college website to see if the snowfall meant a school closure. Yep - Turns out that snow isn't all that bad. Getting anywhere a great distance away has been made impossible, so we've got 2 days off of school, which is nice.

I don't know what to think about the snow. On the plus side, it has the power to shape my educational timetable. On the downside, me and my family were meant to be driving 2 hours up North to go and collect our new puppy, but as the roads are out of action this is looking unlikely.

Oh snow, how you tease me. Should I love you? Loath you? Crawl around in you?
