It’s fascinating how year after year, snow seems to plunge the country into chaos. It snowed all day yesterday and some more today, and skimming today’s headlines it’s like we’ve been hit by some natural disaster. ‘Arctic blast hits Britain’, ‘UK colder than Moscow’, ‘Snow causes chaos on roads’, ‘Deep freeze’… last I checked there were two inches of snow on the ground, and Aberdeen is one of the “worst affected”* areas. Britain has been experiencing snow in winter for centuries, if not millennia, yet they’re closing streets and shutting down schools because apparently we are still unable to cope with 5 cm of the stuff. Why are they even complaining about Global Warming?
*Of course, I’m happy, the more the better. Sucks if you have to drive, but hey, bring on the so-called blizzard that was supposed to hit us today!

Heh. India gets that way in the monsoons every year. And it's amazing how one shower manages to throw all the traffic into a mess every single time!
