Britain's Snowmageddon Day 1, part 1

I woke up this morning eagerly anticipating (unlike the majority of Britain) that a heavy snowfall would have occurred overnight, and that the ground would be a blanket of white, fluffy, playful snow. I was dreaming of taking my two girls out to play in it, letting them build snowmen, and make snowangels on the garden lawn.

I was deeply upset when i awoke to another snowless, dry, cold, winter morning in Scotland, after a very unChristmassy December, in terms of the weather that is. (I actually had a fabulous Christmas day, with good food, great presents, good company, and being my first Christmas as a vegetarian, I didn't have to fight off all the grubbers at the annual family gathering, for turkey and sausage stuffing sandwiches. This was nice. More room for alcohol, eh?)

Apparently though, in England and Wales, they are panicking over no public transport, panic buying in case they are trapped inside their own homes, or even worse, work.
