Most adults I know hate snow. Children, on the other hand, can't seem to get enough of it. Me? Well, I've always found snowy landscapes to be enchanting - I still do today.
Substantial snowfalls are rare in northwestern Hungary, which is why I welcomed the twenty or so centimetres of the white stuff that blanketed this region on Thursday.

Most adults are apparently fools, who fear and can find no beauty in austerity, who dislike strong contrasts and abhor definition and extremity. They like bright, abstract, mild, bland, tepid unstimulating unchallenging things.

I was watching a programme last night on the middle ages they apparently believed that if you were dying of leprosy that your suffering would help you work off the sins you had accrued in your life and the suffering was therefore not all bad whereas now all suffering is bad and must be fought at all costs. Oh boy are we different from our ancesters.
