    Bastard.

    Why does it always snow everywhere in the UK apart from where I live?

    I like snow. Why does everyone start complaining when it snows?

    Oh dear, I can't go to work now....

    Because snow is cold and therefore unpleasant. And its hard to walk when its snowing.

    It's also white and pretty, which is nice.

    And you can always have a bowl of porridge before you go out, and you can wear snow shoes.

    Then cars and people make it all gray and ugly....
    Porridge sounds nice though. I want some right now.

    I'm allergic to cold, so I think its understandable that I'm not a fan of snow :)

    I too like snow. When I am sitting inside, nice and warm.
    I ride a bike and I can see myself falling under the wheels of a 8 wheeled truck.

    That can happen with or without snow.

    True. But, the likelyhood is increased by a factor of 10.
    I also notice on BBC Leicester, there is a 17 mile and hour easterly wind.
    Added to the low visibilty due to the dark (I finish at 7pm) and the snow...i'm a gonna.

    Nice knowing you.

    If the snow is so bad then most traffic will be slowed down a snail's pace, I'd have thought that would make it marginally safer.

    Fair point. But it is not so bad as to slow traffic down.
    It is more to do with my circumstances.
    I can take more care and slow myself down I suppose.
    It is just not so easy to ride safely when the weather is against you.
    I could always ride on the pavement and knock an old lady down.
