Ok, ok so there's not enough grit and the minister's on holidays and the bus service is a shambles and half the population of the country have broken a bone... but c'mon. How could anyone not love this weather? This crazy cold spell gives us all a legit reason to skip school/work/college/hospital rotation, it gives grumpy old people something else to moan about besides the recession, it gives me an excuse to not ever take off my beautiful rubber soled ugg snow boots... What's not to like? plus... SNOWMEN! The only thing that bums me out is the thought of the thaw.
