The people of Great Britain are currently experiencing the joys (or indeed, trials) of the very recent snowfall. A small patch in Wales has even gotten itself a rare red weather warning because of a deluge of the fluffy stuff.
York, however, has a distinct lack of it at the moment.
You would've thought that the further up north you go, the more snow you're gonna get (talk about a scientific misconception). But nope - although we did get some snow, the cold snap has decided to make a nearby small river freeze over instead. Which is funny when you see a duck try and stay upright (and fail miserably, of course).
I'm supposed to be going on a weekend away soon as well, and there's a lot more snow down there than there is up here, so I'll be taking many warm jumpers, a blanket and a flask of ready-made tea with sugar (heresy to most of you, I'm sure; I like my sugar, thank you :3), not to mention bags of sweets and probably a pair of earmuffs if Stathern Lodge was anything to go by! (I think the account of that is either in my very early posts or in my now-inactive blog, I'm not sure - basically, me and a church that one of my friends attended went to a residential in November 2010, and they had no heating. Brilliant, but cold :P)
Well, regardless of whether we're actually going or not, I'm sure I'll have a good weekend wondering if I'll still be going to placement on Monday, all depending on either the school being snowed in (or not) or if I've got snow halfway up my legs (or not). Meh - I don't mind, this is snow we're talking about! I love the stuff!
That is, until it all turns to ice....
Edit: We have some now! A little bit at the moment, but this could get fluffy, people...
