Suffolk in snow

March tomorrow and it’s minus 3 outside with two inches of snow on the ground. Normally I’m all for an early onset of Spring but I have to say it’s been lovely this week. School closures, beautiful scenery and the joy of seeing your breath freeze as it leaves you. If you didn’t look out of the window this morning and feel a complete sense of joy then I pity you. 
On a more sour note, I have to say that if I hear one more person moaning about the roads I will cave their head in with a copy of The Economist. If you haven’t got the two brain cells needed to know it’s not a good idea to drive on ice and snow then you don’t deserve the freedom of speech that allows you to complain about ‘the gritters.’
And a quick note for people who compile travel reports for radio stations - when you tell us about ‘an accident caused by the bad weather’ you are actually talking about ‘an accident caused by bad driving.’ Don’t let some dickhead who was overtaking at 60 mph in a blizzard off the hook by giving him a meteorological get-out-of-jail-free card. If we’re going to live in a Culture Of Blame, we should send it in the right direction when it’s obviously deserved. 
Back to a positive attitude before I leave you in peace for the evening: I have made it through Feb without suicide or divorce, I haven’t had insomnia for a fortnight and I’m about to go for a moonlit walk through a beautiful, glistening snowscape.
