Snow, Snow, Go Away, Come Again NEVER!

Seriously, I thought I left snow behind in Canada. I was so excited to come back to a great land of around 0 degrees temperatures, rain, and somewhat mild winters. That was the case for the first few days back, but now, this past week it's become a bit of a winter wonderland.

Mind you, there hasn't been a large amount of accumulation of snow. It comes, and then it melts and turns into slush, and then it comes again. But slush is the worst! It's about as awful as mud in my opinion. It splashes, it leaves marks on your boots, and it's just plain wet.

A lot of Britains just aren't prepared for snow either. Their reaction to an inch of snow is like Canada's reaction to a foot of snow. Should we close school early? Should we have school at all? There's panic all over the city. Trains are delayed, cars drive extremely carefully (which isn't necessarily a bad thing) and people don't go outside. I mean, I guess their reactions make sense and personally I don't want to be out in the weather either. I guess when you are used to the snow it just all seems a bit silly for the actual amount of snow they get.

Anyways, I hope it leaves soon. When I complain about not liking snow, people are shocked because I'm Canadian. Then, the look on their faces when they learn I don't like hockey either!

Well, here's a couple pictures from the snowy week here across the pond!

I'm glad at least one person in our flat is excited about snow. Matt didn't even bother to put shoes or socks on!
