A bit of an overreaction I know, but anyone who knows anything about the Uk will also know this minute spattering of the white stuff will bring chaos across our once green and pleasant land.
Chaos
Transport will cease, hospitals will close and main stream media will go into overdrive with the “We’re doomed” scenarios.
All for about 0.5cms of snow. Crazy.
Just do it
We’re absolutely bonkers in this country.
And we’re heading off on holiday today to the east coast for a few days. Because we don’t mind the cold, we are real troopers you see who enjoy a challenge.
And this blog today is written mostly in “Sarcasm” font.
Yep, Leicester city are in action again today and for us long suffering supporters it’s another snowy, cold and windswept day in the East Midlands.
LCFCBalders….thats me
Our visitors today are from Wolverhampton, just an hour up the road.
Here’s hoping for a good day.
Update:
Well, we were well and truly slaughtered today, not sure our team even turned up. Met a nice chap from Columbia who had travelled all the way from there to watch us play. I feel really sorry for him. Hey ho. You win some and you lose some, today just wasn’t our day.
And I’m not talking Frankie Valli and his pals, neither am I about to burst into song, you don’t deserve that.
Every season has its good and bad points for me, but I have to say Spring is probably my favourite.
My reasoning for each season is listed below:
Spring: crisp mornings but now is the added bonus of the sun poking its head out, the plants are starting to awaken and the birds seem to be singing a different song. It’s all about awakening and looking forward. This is my favourite season, as it’s all about progression, it seems positive to me.
Summer: Sun, heat all the things we haven’t had and have missed for the last five months should now be here in abundance, however here in the Uk in the middle of what should be flaming June, we have single figure temperatures and even more rain than usual. Mother natures clock seems to be out of sync.
Autumn: Nature is about to go into hibernation, the trees put on awesome displays of colour and the last sprinkling of warm sunshine takes a bow. Cold days reappear and Jack Frost starts to make his presence felt.
Winter: warm coats come out of storage, the common cold hits with a vengeance and crisp mornings and more rain appears. And then the slight dusty sprinkling of snow appears that makes the country grind to a halt, and makes us the laughing stock of the world.
Panic, everything grinds to a halt, you’ve guessed it the Uk has had a sprinkling of snow satisfying the egos of the poison media that have been promising an apocalypse for the last couple of weeks.
Why are we so unprepared? A question with a thousand different answers I’d guess, I’ve a few of my own but I just can’t bring myself to air those views. As I’m writing this item sitting in the car waiting for my wife to finish her nail appointment, I may not have the time and could well lose my flow if she was to interrupt me.
Iceland Feb 2023
The thing is we have recently spent an enjoyable week in Iceland and they truly know what snow is and it dosen’t seem to impede them in any way. The infrastructure is superior in many cases what with directing geo thermal water under the roads to warm them after it has initially heated your property. All vehicles crack on at the normal speed un impeded and everyone seems to be happy. The only cars stuck that we witnessed were tourists not quite used to what they were experiencing.
I guess familiarity with such occasions prepares you better, so that may be the answer in the long run.
Garden looking as good as my neighbour
Either way snow looks lovely, it’s the only time that my garden looks as good as everyone else’s 😂
I just hate driving in it though. What’s your views on snow where you live? Can your infrastructure handle it. I’d like to know.
