I hate snow!
46 Answers
It hasn't even arrived here yet and I hate it. I am scared of driving in it but all the guys at work think anyone who won't drive in snow is pathetic and they expect me to go along with them so I either have to drive all the way to work and back in fear (someone did crash into me once) or be made to feel guilty that I haven't gone in. Then everyone rushes to the shops and panic buys everything so there is nothing left and I don't have any decent boots - nor the funds to get any until next week. I'm feeling very hurrumph about impending snow. It wasn't that long ago snow would have made me the happiest person on earth! Do you love it or hate it.

I loved it up till last year when we had days and days of snow! It was then that I discovered being on a steep icy hill in a car was not fun lol and then I fell over and banged the bottom of my back and declared I hated it!
However, my bad feelings towards snow are beginning to thaw, I'm looking forward to getting a bit of snow again now!!

I think that last year when we had our street frozen solid in ice for 5 weeks got me used to driving in it, it's just the shock when it first starts. We did have a nightmare drive last year when it took us about 5 hours to get home (about 50 mile journey) as they had shut the motorway and most other routes were barely passable. luckily my OH was driving and we had enough petrol to keep the engine running all night if we had to - at one point we did think we were up for a night in the car. As we had all just been to the Rugby, we were all well wrapped up and kids even had sallopettes with them.
We did get fed up with the snow after the first couple of weeks!

Absolutely love it....if the buses don't run its a 4 mile walk to work and I am like a big kid scuffing through the fluffy stuff in my wellies...usually take my camera and look for some nice views...yes it is disrupting and if it stopped me getting to Wales next week I might feel differently however if it stopped me getting back to work.......
I wouldn't usually feel so guilty about not going to work but one of my bosses is my brother and while you might think this would work in my favour, it doesn't in this case. Aside from that, they all drive big heavy vans and are usually going into central London where I suspect the driving is a bit easier. When you have no option but to go through country roads and accross a border line where every year it seems Bucks and Oxford council can't decide who owns the road so it doesn't get gritted.
I hate it -we have it already but its not lying yet.
Accidents galore further north this morning.
Our holiday flight cancelled while we had gone through security last December -then stranded in Yorkshire and couldnt get up the road for days because of it.Just brings misery for people who have to go out in it.

Same thing Mazie, I've never had a serious accident but only by luck. A number of times I have started skidding and managed to get control back narrowly avoided other cars or obsticles. Last year someone on the opposite side of the road tried to avoid an accident that had just happened in front of him and in doing so, skidded out and crashed straight into me. Luckily it was very slow so it wasn't too bad but it really scared me.
