Snow



As you may have all seen in the last few days our little country has been hit with the white powder know as snow and for everyone this is a three edge sword. The reason that I say this is because a third of us lover the snow and enjoy the time off to play, the second third just can’t stand the cold and want summer to come quickly while the last third find that it makes their journeys to and from work a lot harder.

Personal I cover all three of this because I am not the greatest of fans when it comes to the colder weather and with the snow it always feels colder than normal, I get annoyed that my journeys to and from work are dangers and filled with idiots on the roads (I will get to this in a few moments). Lastly I do enjoy seating by a window watching the snow fall and if I happen to feel a little adventures I may even go to the nears park to just stand there and take in the view.

The biggest question that a lot of people keep on asking when it snows is why does this country always comes to a standstill when it snows, the answer to this question is very simple. It only snows at least once may be twice a year and when it does it tends to be heavy or a little dusting, because of this it is not financially variable for us as a country to spend a large amount of money on equipping the country to handle the snow. You do have to hand it to them that this year because they have done a better job than they have done in previous years.

If we take a moment to look at say Canada or Russia what is the one thing that comes to mind when you first think about these two countries, for me the first thing that comes to mind is it is cold and with that cold comes snow. With that information alone you already know that the chance of snow is going to be very high and because of this they need to gear themselves so that they can continue with their day to day lives when it snows so they tend to place more money into snow equipment than we do.

Which bring me to the one thing that I hate the most when the snow comes, the idiots that believe driving round the road with five inches or more of snow on the top of their car along with those that only removing the snow by using their windscreen wipers. I do have to ask, have you ever hear of road safety, I guess you haven’t because if you had then you might have had the sense to remove all the snow on your car before leaving for your distinction.

If you had any common sense then you would know that by leaving the snow on your car you are more likely to have an accident or create an accident for someone else if you just leave it up there. I know that it is hard work to remove it all but at the end of the day you will be helping yourself and those around you.

So if it does snow again or if you haven’t already cleaned your car from the snow so far then could you please at least remove the snow on your car not just for me but for yourself and those around you.

Until Next time.
