As the snow falls all over England people have very varied opinions. There are those who detest it and any amount they find awful. There are the people who revel in it; immediately going outside to build snowmen, sledge and just go for a walk to appreciate the beauty of it.
For me I love how gorgeous it makes the scenery. I also love the peacefulness it brings. But I do appreciate the dislike for it as it can make travelling dangerous. This year mains roads where I am have been gritted well and clear of the snow which impressed me as this has not been the case in previous years. My local streets however can be a menace to drive on and put me off driving in this weather. But the show must go on just as the snow is still falling now.
I saw a post earlier from a charity which in essence was reminding everyone to think of others. I'd like to do the same and remind everyone that if you have elderly neighbours, perhaps offer to clear their front path or take food round. It can be difficult to get around in this weather if you already have less mobility and it's the simplest things that can make the biggest difference. If there is someone in the community who you think could use a hand, offer it.
One last reminder; if you are driving make sure to clear your car fully. If you leave snow on your roof people behind you will end up with chunks of snow flying at their windscreen as they drive which is distracting and dangerous. Make sure you take a blanket, water, food and a shovel with you in case you get stuck somewhere.
I am glad to have been reminded of the beauty that is right on my doorstep and hope that everyone manages to enjoy this weather even just a little.
Stay safe.
