Let It Snow!

Eeeeeeee! Snow!!!!

(And, yes, I know that those of you who live in genuinely cold places are either laughing at or cooing over all the Brits posting the same thing at the moment, but bear with us. The last 'official' White Christmas in the south of England was 1999, before that the early 80s. The most snow we usually get at this time of year is a sleety shower which doesn't settle. So, yes, I'll be here squeeing about my three centimetres of snow ^___^)

I'm now a third of the way through my Yuletide fic, having finally stopped researching and started writing this afternoon. This has definitely been the year of crazy research for both fandom and original stuff. I feel far more knowledgeable about all sorts of odd bits of history now (and my students have now added Spitfires, early 20th century society and seventies music, as well as a few others I can't list here without blowing my anonymity, to the 'Don't get Miss started' list).

Also, slightly belated thanks for the snowflake cookies. Fandom has been making me very happy over the last couple of weeks :)

Snow!!

Nah, I've been squeeing at the snow all day long and I'm not even there! Or rather, squirming in envy, lol.

(I do, however, laugh a bit whenever Brits say they're roasting from the heat at 25º.)

*snickers* For a nation so obsessed with the weather, we really don't cope with even slight extremes very well.

It's so pretty ^_^ It was lovely yesterday when we all came out of the end of term carol service to white fields and softly falling snow.

Snow! We've already had three this year, but it's like a perfectly blue sunny day--it never gets old. Glad to share the wealth. *g* M.

It's been a grotty autumn, so it's nice to have some exciting weather for once. Sadly, it seems to have stopped now, but it might start again *crosses fingers*

I'd mock (it's been -10 and super snowy for the past week), but seeing as I've lived through ten years of southern English winters and there was snow only once (and not at Christmas), I feel your joy! :D

Also, the south of Finland has not been getting great winters lately either, so I have to say we're pretty excited over here as well. SNOOOOW. \o/

It probably won't last until next week, but we can hope.

Of course, we deserve to be mocked because these few inches of snow - the entire country has ground to a standstill. *facepalms*

Ah, of course it has. :D Last time I was trying to fly out of England, there was that freak snowstorm that made a mess of everything as well... snow really does make everything insane over there.
