Snow, so No Go?

Snow So It’s a No Go!

It seems that since this cold snap everyone suddenly cannot function. People are panic buying at the supermarkets and abandoning cars or sleeping in them all night long due to the weather. Gritters are prioritizing what roads to grit and the elderly and disabled are isolated by the weather but is it us as a nation unable to cope or are we just human?

Since a few weeks before Christmas, Britain’s been hit with several winter storms, funny that huh? Us being in Winter and getting “winter storms?” How dare the weather systems interrupt our lives with a winter storm in the middle of winter!

Schools have been closed, businesses losing money all because of the fun white stuff. the local authorities were prepared for this cold snap and have done what they could to grit the roads but is our nature of a nation who loves to complain making a mountain out of a mole hill?

I accept the following to be true:
• Snow is possible during winter.
• The gritters cannot get down all side streets and the local authority has to decide which streets should be prioritized.
• Deliveries may not get to all supermarkets because of the weather.
• Schools can only be open all day if there is almost certainty that the children will be able to get home. [those parents who are complaining about their kids being at home, A: why did you have them? B: You’d be bitching if the school kept them all day and the little darlings couldn’t get home because the roads were too bad]
• Not everyone will be able to get to work but if you live on a main road and the route to your job is along a main route and you don’t go because of the snow then you’re a lazy git.
• It’s harder for elderly people and those with physical disabilities to get out so neighbors and family members this is your chance to do a good deed.
• Transport will be effected.

And those of you who cannot accept these facts then what planet are you bloody living on? We are in the middle of winter, snow can fall in this part of the world, its something you have to accept. Don’t like it, fuck off somewhere else. And panic buying is purely selfish. If you need six loaves of bread for you and your husband then you are a bunch of fat pigs. Take three at the most and allow others to eat during the winter. Yes, deliveries are finding it hard to get through but they will eventually.

Look at the weather and plan in advance. Don’t wear stupid shoes in this weather, because when you fall on your ass, I’ll just laugh. Good walking boots or even wellies, no matter how unfashionable they may be are essential.

and yes, transport will be effected. And those of you idiots who complain because the bus or the trains are either not running or delayed, shut your mouth and think for a few seconds, if that bus or train was on time but then it had an accident with your ignorant ass on it, would you be happy it was on time and didn’t take care on the roads then or risked a journey in fear of upsetting your routine?

You may not be able to get to work. Try but don’t endanger your life or others by doing so. For God’s sake, if you’re snowed in, you can’t possibly spend too much money, a day’s cut in your wages will not kill you but a car accident may do.

Have fun! Yes, fun! Go outside and play with your kids. build snowmen, throw snow balls, go sledging and take the dog for a good run with you while you do that. Quit complaining your kids schools are closed and go and have fun with them. Quality time might do you and them some good. Too many families don’t know how to do that any more. Quit sticking your kids in front of the TV and show them how beautiful nature can be!

Over all, stop complaining. The snow came, keep warm, have fun and live your life to the best of your abilities. Nothing’s worth risking your life or health for. Accept the facts and look for other solutions, it’s all you can do. Winter’s here and if any one of you dares complain when we’re back to mild winters next year then you’re a bloody pain in the ass.

One last thought; Remember that feeling when you got a snow day while you were in school? Remember that feeling and go with it. ☺

Christmas

C is for Candles, burning bright,
H is for holly, hanging in the night,
R is for reindeer well on their way,
I is for icicles, that hang in the day,
S is for snow, fluffy and white,
T is for the tree, pretty and bright,
M is for mince-pies, yummy and sweet,
A for the Angels, pretty and neat,
S is for Santa, in his big red suit,
Bringing presents for me and you,
So Merry Christmas on this very special day,
Hope you get happiness in every single way.

Winter Wonder Land

In the darkened sky,
And on the ground below,
a light glimmers!
Glimmers from the blanket
That lays there so still,
after the storm it caused,
brightening the land and
Yet changing everything about it.

sparkling like a jewel,
Hidden in a dark room,
The blanket drapes everything with such glamour.
Hanging on the bear branches,
Draping them with glitter,
Like from a Christmas card picture.

Upon the buildings,
Layered so precisely,
The white icing all it falls upon
Into a elegant cake,
Glinting in the starlight.

And below on the ground,
Where dismal once tred,
Now lies a fabric of purity,
Lay there so perfect and picturesque
You would believe it was a magical kingdom.

The sounds of silence,
Muffled by the white carpet,
The crunch now audible beneath your boots,
And yet so still
After the blizzard before it,
The winter wonderland exists to be,
And yet is so unreal,
Almost untrue,
But it is real,
as real as me and you!

Winter Fun

The land is blanketed in a dark mist,
A bright glow emits from overhead,
Children stir within their dreams,
And then jump up out of their beds.
Staring out at the sky above,
The children begin to laugh and shout,
Snowflakes are falling down,
And they all want to go out.

Dancing sparkles as the flakes drift down,
Glittering like shiny spiders weaving their webs,
Forming blankets upon the ground,
And bringing the world back from the dead.

An autumn kills all the greenery,
Takes away the worlds bright scenes,
But winter brings a magical touch,
Brightens up just everything.

Christmas then arrives with its baubles and bright lights,
The beautiful smells of cooking and treats,
The sights of loved ones enjoying each other,
And the coldness in hands and feet,
Only remind us that inside the house,
Where one can be so warm,
Is a crackling fire and hot chocolate too,
And a hug from someone we love.

Christmas Joy

snow flakes falling all around,
Angels singing in the air,
Children singing Christmas songs,
It’s that time of year.

The smells of cooking and fresh trees,
The sights of brightly colored wrapped gifts with bows,
The laughter and joy emitting from all around,

And here Christmas is again how we know
It to be,
Filled with love and joy,
Fun and games to be had by all,
Toys and surprises for every girl and boy.

Whispers of Santa ready to visit,
Preparing his reindeer and slay,
Chocolates, mince pies, turkey and the works,
Wine and fine things to be had on Christmas day.

Icicles on noses,
Jack frost leaving his trace Upon the window pane,
Cuddling before a blazing fire with a hot drink,
Treating ourselves to pudding and sugar canes,
Christmas comes but one time of year,
And as we throw snowballs in feisty fun,
We all enjoy the spirit of Christmas,
Each and every one!

My Four Seasons!

Icy patches line the road,
Trees stand grim and bare,
Silvery light makes the snow glow,
And flakes dampen my hair.
Thick white blanket lies overhead,
The rivers are frozen hard,
Darkness falls and puts me to bed,
And waits for the frost to thaw.

Blossoms burst onto the green trees,
Birds chirp their happy song,
Ants, rabbits, lambs and Bees
Happily settle down for a summer long.

Beaches stretch for miles around,
The ocean is deep and blue,
Ice cream cones and laughter sounds
Bring the sunshine too.
long hot nights spent outside,
Cooling down in the pool,
loud music and fair ground rides,
Makes the summer ultimately cool!

Falling leaves and crispy ground,
Make the squirrels run,
For now chimney smoke and fire cracker sounds,
Welcome us back to winter and away from the summer’s sun!
