After 4 years in Canada the snow kind of lost its appeal.

Here are another few inches Renth.

I might miss it if it was the proper crunchy crisp stuff falling in bucketloads.
I might miss it if I was a kid with nothing else to do.
I might miss it if ......................























Oh sod it. No I don't miss it. Being cold here in winter is as cold as I ever want to get again

Having heard from my sister how much her children are enjoying the snow (they're 6 and 4), I'm missing being there to enjoy it with them.

Looks great for the morning, then it turns to shitty grey slush churned up by the cars. The road I used to live on in the UK wasn't on the gritters circuit either, so when it was snowy or icy I had to walk the length of the lane to the main road with a shovel manually removing it. So for the net benefit of maybe one toboganning session with my son, once every three or four years, as opposed to any day I want boogie boarding with him at the beach 10 minutes from my front door ... no ... I don't miss it.

I think snow is great in:

i) Picture postcards
ii) Viewed, unspoilt, from a bedroom window, or inside a pub with roaring fire
iii) ski resorts
iv) Elsewhere, its a novelty for kids but once they've fallen on the slush which has frozen, walking to school...
