The best things about snow...
Snowballs are God's gift to passive aggressive parents everywhere; hammer the living daylights out of your kids, completely legally.
Babies look fabulous in snowsuits. Fact. They become little more than a podgy, fleece-lined padded sack with a small proportion of their face showing at the top. (Usually watery eyes and bright red nose.)
Those of toddling age become practically incapacitated; incapable of bending elbows or knees, they can do little but shuffle along before faceplanting in the snow.
Not only can you let your creative talents run wild by making just about anything you want, you can also make tributes to famous people, such as this testament to John J Rambo.
You're never too old for sledging (unless you're over 80, in which case you probably are too old for sledging.) Grab a sledge and try and propel yourself forwards on an even surface by shunting your bottom back and forth. Failing that, gain satisfaction by pushing a small child as fast as you can down a hill. Beware parked cars.
There is not a faster or surer way of getting yourself soaked to the skin and very, very cold, than lying in a pile of snow and flailing your arms and legs. This is also known as 'pooh roulette'. Is this the patch of grass where the pikeys from over the road let their dog do its business this morning? Only time will tell.
This is a passive way of enjoying the snow; watch with secret merriment as people passing your window slip despite their best endeavours at staying upright.
