Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

My first topic of interest?

The snow that has covered the UK!

Personally I enjoyed a lovely snow day but it seems not everyone was quite so delighted-

I was really quite saddened to read these articles. Why must the press in this country, make a misery out of something that provided a very fun few days for those of us who can kick back and have fun?
I didn't see chaos and misery and inconvinience in the snow, a few of the things I saw in the early days of this week were -

> Families spending quality time with each other
(time spent out in the fresh air running around, rather than sat round a tv)
> Old friends who haven't seen each other meeting up to forget any worries or issues and have a good time
> People who needed a day off work having some fun and relaxing safe in the knowledge no one else was working
> People walking (or preferably sledging!) everywhere instead of relying on cars

Aren't these all things we should encourage and rejoice?

I appreciate some people's work or travel plans may have been disrupted but when we get this chance so rarely to have a day focused around fun rather than the credit crunch, surely it's worth it for all the things mentioned above?

Let me know your thoughts

Got to love the maturity of The Sun's serious media coverage ;)
