It’s Snowing!

[Semi42]

The recent weather made me remember school days in the classroom.
it would start snowing and someone in class would always announce it with glee ,causing the whole class to avert their attention to the window.
the next comment would be either an exited “and it’s lying” or a disappointed grumble “it’s not lying though”.
rushing out at playtime to make snowballs whatever the snowfall be it proper powder or even slushy mess .

I recalled this to my Son who laughed and nodded knowingly that exactly the same scenarios occurred in his school days

It never seems to snow when songs about snow are played on the radio, does it?

BBC Radio Nottingham's Snowline used to be used in the late 1980s and early 1990s, telling us which schools and events are cancelled due to the snow - of course, these days, it still happens but they are cancelled due to coronavirus. We even had a power cut in around 1991 because of the snow as well.

Exactly five years to the day since this thread was created and what do I see outside? I look out of the window and see that it is snowing outside! Why wasn't the weather like this 15 days ago when it would have been traditional, and songs about snow were still playing on the radio? It never snows when songs about snow are playing on the radio.

Just a few years ago I had booked tickets to see a pantomime but the fact that it was snowing outside meant that I wasn't able to go. What was the same of pantomime? Ironically enough, it was for Snow White! I might have ended up as Sneezy if I went there!
