slowfox said it best : Sorry, but the non-Brits amongst you will have to put up with the Brit contingent's annual expression of surprise that we've actually got snow, and that it's actually settling. Neither are particularly frequent occurrences in Blighty, so we tend to make a fuss of them when we have them.
It was definitely snowing well at midnight last night when I got home, and I suspect that news might have given
gianfared a minor heart attack. I strongly suspect Southerners of not quite understanding the concept of snow, but at least it's not settling at the moment. Just wear all your packed clothing at once and you should be okay. :D
