To all of my Canadian and American friends who have thought it necessary to send me a sarcastic note about the ‘Great Blizzard of Britain’, you can now stop. I have not forgotten what a Canadian winter is like and I agree, 5 inches of fluffy white snow that gracefully falls to the ground in fluffy looking white bunny bunches is not the driving sleet of Highway 400 risking a 100 car pile-up.

I get it.

That being said, my favourite email was to Narda and is a study in subtlety, enjoy:

Subject: ‘Blizzard’

So sorry to hear about your 10 centimetres of snow.

To each of you who emailed me, I have only one response: ‘So sorry to hear about your next 6 weeks. Our snow is almost gone’ (wink)
