    Anyone having snow withdrawal symptoms type in let it snow into Google and sit, wait and watch. :cool:

    Btw, you can write in the snow with your pointer.

    Snow and the slush ice that comes with it is a pain. Most people agree.

    Some may agree, but not on this forum they don't.

    Bad news for you guys, it's snowing in France, including my hometown of Lyon, and Germany I think too... Good news for me : I'm going there on the 26 th :). But don't worry, I'll share pics if any :p. With a special dedication for the people of Donegal who got all our snow a week ago ;).

    edit : and for those of you who have facebook, hereis a pic one of my friends has posted.

    Most people don't want to be prisoners in their own houses, they don't want to hop their skulls off the footpath after slipping on ice, they want running water so they can flush the toilet and wash the dishes after eating manky old detested turkey and sprouts.

    Well yes, that's understandable, but those things mostly happen when the cold is extreme and persistent, ie last winter. But to be honest the chances of a repeat of last year are pretty slim, so I wouldn't worry.

    I had one of those vane, I had a nice farmer pull me out, I bought a jeep.

    I see far too much worry for people who hate snow. I've had my water solid in the toilet, I've had my water pipes frozen, the family used hair dryers and it was an adventure ~ the kids made good pocket money thawing out the neighbours frozen pipes too.

    I've slipped on the ice, bashed my knee, my elbow my cranium and smashed expensive camera gear. I've spun out on snow and ice and hit lamp poles and crashed into ditches and had to be rescued a few times.

    It was scary, it was exciting, it was exhilarating, it was everything. Yet my most serious brush with death came in the summer at the beach in warm weather.

    Snow and ice, bring it on ~ it's far more predictable.

    That friend is from a country background but now lives in town. He had his Audi pulled out first, then later tried going around with the van, and had to be pulled out again as you can see :rolleyes:.

    A lot of moaning about the snow, I don't like the big inconveniences like no ESB or pipes bursting either, but it has to be said there is a lot that can be prepared for and counteracted on. Isolating pipes, using salt for the driveway, grips for your shoes, snowchains on the car... these are all easy things that can help be better prepared. Even though they give out about it a bit too, I'm sure the French would keep their few weeks of snow if they were asked would they swap it for months of rain like we have here.
