Yes, it's just snow, but we have it so rarely that it is a treat/menace. We don't have many snow ploughs because they're not cost effective; we don't have chains for our cars because ditto. And on the plus side, because it's so rare many of us find our Inner Child bursting out and making snowmen and having snowball fights. I think this is the first time there's been enough snow for those up here near Manchester since I moved here at the end of 2000. The last snow like this that I experienced in the London area was, I think, February 1996.
