I, too, buck your trend, Bm, but from the other angle, being a snow-hating pedestrian. This makes just as much sense as hating it from behind the steering wheel, if not more: I went skating several times this morning quite unintentionally. But my views on the Englsih Winter are well-known from Dunx' Room 101 game, so I need add no more this year.

I am willing to put up with snow, but having to walk over ice at 8:00 in the morning is a bit much.

I had to run! That was amusing, not!

Wheeeeeeeeeee!

You slide across it for a metre or two into a neat crouching position ready to make the next snowball. Thus speaks the voice of experience.
