It might not seem much to readers in the north-east US but this meagre snowfall was a real treat. In this part of England it happens once a year at best, and leads to traffic chaos and school closures.
I gave up on my 50 mile commute without even starting and focused instead on enjoying the snow while it lasted (it has mostly melted already).
The child viewed it with cautious enthusiasm so I tried to get her into the spirit with a few snowballs.
Not having any gloves on I decided to flick the snow up with my foot. The first attempt was pretty good, spattering her coat like buckshot, but the second came up as a single big clump of snow that hit her square in the face.
She took it quite well considering - she just kept saying 'face' in a tone the said she couldn't believe I just did that to her. Get used to it kid, ha ha ha ha.

What does it say about me that I found the last paragraph highly entertaining?
I was there last all last week and it was absolutely gorgeous. I'm sad I missed the snow. Over here in Germany we have nothing. Well...no snow where I am, anyway.
