Isn't it funny how we view the snow so differently......I want more and more and you have had enough  Smiley
Think we could get a bit more here tomorrow so fingers crossed Wink

The difference over here in the UK from the States and Canada etc is everything is thrown into chaos once we get an inch or two. Trains, buses don't run, schools are closed. Takes days for them to get their finger out and grit/salt the smaller roads. The councils/government are NEVER prepared for it even though they know its coming  Angry

If you'd had to shovel out a driveway, a walkway, and a mailbox from 42.5 inches (1.07 meters) of snow over the past two months, you'd be sick of it, too! Shocked  Fortunately, we get winters like this only every few years or so.  Last year, I think I shoveled only once and there wasn't a lot of snow with that storm.  My kids didn't have any days off from school.  Although, they've only had two half-days off this winter, due to weekend storms and good plowing.  They were really hoping for today off, but no dice.

Yep you'd be right Kbmum shovelling that amount doesn't sound good Wink This country wouldn't run at all with snow like that  ROFL!
Nice to see photos in the national newspapers of kids enjoying the snow though.....makes everyone smile for a while Grin
