Spec me some snow

For once I don't want any in the UK. :p

I am going skiing soon, and I really hope the snow doesn't affect the airports because I want to go on holiday, however, the more snow the better when I am at the resort. (Especially since I plan to do some cross-country skiing also).

A day at school with snow would be nice, it makes the walk to school a bit more interesting, but for the next two days I will be working at lunch and break so I wouldn't be able to enjoy it anyway.

If it all fell tommorrow and was melted by mid-friday, I would be pleased. :)

me too... am hoping I can actually get to my interview as I've already had to reschedule two of them for other reasons :(.

If they could delay the snow by a week or two I'd be happy.

How much snow would it take to close schools do you think?

Not sure, my form tutor said to listen to the radio and it will say, or if it's too bad then don't come in.
 
All this snow malarky as a joke.

We are expecting a little bit of snow and people go crazy!

Over in the Alps the other week it snowed a fair bit, no real change, nobody did anything differently. The vehicles are all standard, the shops still opened and people didn't have to take the day off.

Why is it that snow has this effect in the UK?

We don't get it all that often? :confused:

If we don't get snow we are not prepared for it, and people get excited about it. If you observe a school, the behaviour vastly deteriorates when there is high winds as people get excited; I think it is the same thing really for snow.

That is pretty much what I concluded from the Met Office predications. It's going to be fun for me in the morning, can't wait ! :)

any 'adverse' weather affects the UK really badly, even a few leaves on the line can shut the rail service down ffs :o , it should have been something we adapted to a long time ago, i mean in places like Russia/Poland they can get a couple feet of snow and still have public transport running to time (something else we haven't yet managed in the UK :D)
