On the continent you fit your winter tyres and move on regardless. Only Icy conditions or extremely heavy snowfalls call for heavy machinery. In N.America individual householders often have a small snow-blower to clear their driveways. Otherwise, a shovel keeps you beautifully fir and warm. 3' of snow in many areas is more the norm than the exception.<br />In Australia you are not allowed into the snow covered alpine areas in winter unless you carry chains for your wheels. It seems we have become pansies in many ways, expecting to be constantly bottle fed.<br /><br />Happy Christmas to you and your's Pat.<br />I do hope your health problems have righted themselves.Arijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03720793296992474762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-12533709209833744232010-12-21T07:16:55.596-08:002010-12-21T07:16:55.596-08:00Good to read all your comments - mostly agreeing a...Good to read all your comments - mostly agreeing although the odd disagreement - and yes, Derrick I do think you have a point.

Last Friday they stopped school bus service here because _Monday's_ weather report said there *might* be snow. There wasn't, but the busses still stayed in their garages. And those poor, poor Parisians! Ankle-deep! Seven years in Minneapolis (about 12 feet total per winter) can really recalibrate the wintry attitude.

Though these trips were at times challenging, I wouldn't have changed them for the world. The humble accommodation was often cold and spartan. Sometimes with no heating at all. But the fascinating walkers and pilgrims I met had other things to talk about as well as the weather.The Solitary Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284354541952038339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-82876465325308524492010-12-20T13:17:34.475-08:002010-12-20T13:17:34.475-08:00Oh Weaver, I couldn't agree more.

Our world is a very different place to the one you and I grew up in. It was slower and simpler and everyone's expectations were lower. Many women didn't work; families lived within a few streets of each other and worked not much further away but now people travel miles daily (sometimes hundreds). I'm not desperately worried for folks who can't get away for a holiday but I don't believe that the authorities can tell us all to make only essential journeys while employers say no-one will be paid if they don't turn up for work. The country should not grind to a halt because it snows.

The cold is beginning to bite - it has been -7C here today but as far as I am concerned 'Nature rules OK'. I don't cope well with extremes of heat or cold, and that is English extremes! My solution to both is to stay indoors if possible until things get more bearable. Homemade soup is a great comfort right now.
