Snow? In the UK?! Unthinkable!

You'd think that the UK has only just realised that in winter, it gets cold. After years of being in the northern hemisphere, this tiny island, battered by winds and oceans has only just realised that if snow falls, things might not work.

I laughed so much when Google threw this headline past me: Snow gives pupils school holiday. At first I thought reporter Jon Snow was campaigning for a day off!

"Snow falls across many parts of
Wales overnight have meant an unexpected
St David's Day holiday for schoolchildren."
reports the BBC

Imagine how little school Finnish kids would get if this was the case here...
