Some random parent said to me this morning as I dropped the grandbrats off at breakfast club that she didn't think the school would be open because of the terrible weather.
I don't know if it was my slightly incredulous expression as I recounted the real ice and snow I experienced in Iceland this last January or the fact that I was clad in shorts and fell shoes that silently mocked her interpretation of "terrible weather".
Either way I don't class 1 or 2 inches of snowfall as particularly terrible and happily informed her that several more days would allow for some decent winter hiking.
She shuddered further into her thick padded and quilted down coat and looked at me like I was insane, don't know why, after all I did have a fleece on.

Ha, yes, the Media do go a bit OTT, don't they?
To be fair, here in Derbyshire & Nottingham, we had a good 8" which settled & it's still not thawed.
It's had no real effect on day-to-day life though.
