Come on folks, enough of the complaining! After all, it is February so technically it is still winter, so please stop acting all surprised about the sudden presence of snow. First you complain that it rains all the time, then you complain that the summers are too hot and now you maintain that the snow will bring the end of civilisation.

Just go outside, build a snowman and throw snowballs at a neighbour you don’t like. You’ll feel a lot better for it!

For the first time in my adult life I have had to shovel snow off of my garden path. Overnight three inches of soft powdery snow fell to the earth giving everything a winter postcard look.

My poor excuse for a back garden looks very nice in the snow

My shiny blue gas van was covered in soft snow

The journey to work was slow, yet everyone managed to make it in one peice, albeit not on time. The traffic moved slowly and seldom exceeded 15mph.

The journey to work was interesting

The Royal Mail staff were unable to do their rounds in the bad weather, so they built a snowman.

The normally busy Faringdon Road was deserted at 10am

I got the impression that I was the only person that had bothered to go to work. It was strange to be in the centre of Swindon at 10am and not be stuck in heavy traffic.

Rumour has it that this weather will be with us until after the weekend. I for one are happy that we are finally getting the seasons we used to enjoy in our childhood so you will not find me whinging about having wet feet and how bad it is that the postman hasn’t shown up.
