A neighbour's son very kindly brought his plough and cleared the the three roads on our small estate so people could get out in their cars.
As my daughter and I were the only family without a car, he dumped all the cleared snow in front of our house.
My daughter was heavily pregnant, and whilst I could climb the compacted Everest at the end of our small drive, she was alarmingly housebound.
We had an anxious two weeks, hoping nothing would go awry causing the need for an ambulance.
Finally, the warm Welsh rains came back melting almost everything overnight. At 6am on the 30th December her waters broke spectacularly as all but a few patches of snow had gone. My granddaughter was born on 31st in time for a party.
I can't help, but think my daughter held on for those two weeks with a will of iron.
We had heavy snow in 2008 and 2009, as well. Before that, I think it might have been 1996.
So far no snow as we seldom have anything but a very mild dusting of it, but the horrible flashing and coloured dripping lights are in all the trees which most people find distracting as they try to drive and the idiotic, moronic and infantile songs are blaring from loudspeakers some playing different ones at the same time making people almost yell while trying to speak to each other.... . On here with all the usual crap increased by those with multiple profiles seemingly to drive people away, I have come to the conclusion that the perfect holiday season symbol should be the effervescent Mr. Henki Poo from that joyous TV show "South Park" A fitting symbol for what seems by many to want for CS Forums. Perhaps a break in Tijuana will be most inspirational and certain;y a lot better.

The moral of the story being " never conceive in the spring, if you don't own a car"
