Let It Snow...

Wow. Snow is quite an amazing thing. Here in England, all it takes is a few flakes to fall on the ground, and the country halts.

Well where I live in the south, we almost can guarantee to never get snow. Any that falls will melt on contact with…er…anything, or instantly transforms into brown sludge. It’s that post code oxymoron that you live in England where the weather is mostly shit, but you end up living in a place where the weather never gets to extremes. I feel sorry for most people around here, as the public are hideous at preparing for adverse conditions. If it’s a bit cold; if it’s a bit windy; if the porch door won’t close properly – as a collective we all panic. Its madness.

Why don’t we all learn from these episodes of snow drifts, floods and hurricanes that a few simple steps can make most peoples’ lives much easier?

I’m no survival expert, but I’ve only just googled snow spikes for shoes (I’m fed up with hearing that people are scared of slipping and therefore don’t come to work) and for a few quid, you walk hobble about in non-slippy wonderment.

If you drive, always keep a shovel and torch in the car as well as some water and rations of food. You never know when weather like this will happen again, and it’s better to be prepared!

…I’m still waiting for the world to crack in half and the new ice age to rise with dawn over the British Isles. Oooo… wont that be fun?

Well I’m leaving work early today which means I may have enough time to edit a decent vlog for tonight. If you are reading this, then thank you. Please don’t forget to subscribe to regular videos at www.youtube.com/snarevandamm if you fancy it!!!

Until tomorrow / tonight
