Snow in the Countryside

If you live in England, then you'll know that as soon as people hear that snow is coming, or as soon as a couple of millimetres falls, the country goes wild. The other day, a café on our campus closed an hour early because of a brief flurry; Manchester airport cancelled flights the other week; and the news is always dominated by snow headlines when it's forecast. All in all, snow is a cause for panic and frustration and most people I know dislike it, a lot. 

I am not one of those people- I love snow. I'm the girl that walked off the train the other day into a snow storm with a massive grin on her face, and I'm the girl that still, at 21 years old, jumps out of bed early in the mornings to go and tread in the crisp, fresh, fluffy stuff. When it's covered everything under a great big blanket, I can't resist being the first to step outside.

And here's an article by The Telegraph which definitely made me giggle this morning. Oh, the British sarcasm is a wonderful thing.
