Why it's more fun to have a snow day in London: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hC0twcvcAnY. (I should warn you that someone swears in the background at the end if you're watching this with your kids.)

You may have heard that the Brits recently (Monday, Feb 2, 2009) got the worst snowstorm in 18 yrs, and the general populous enjoyed the snow day. They did a segment on NPR on it the other day. They have no snow removal and all that, so everything shuts down.

Check out how much snow they have in the video--almost nill. It's 6 to 8 inches. You can see the ground under the snow and where people have been walking. So, clearly if they can have that much fun with that little snow, think what we might do... you know, if it would stay above 20 degrees F for a day or so.
