    I am glad to hear that - for the most part, the weather has not caused too many problems - cue Bing Crosby 'let it snow let it snow let it snow'.

    Interesting bit of railway kit there - I found the 'wish you a merry Christmas' lyrics used in the clip rather bemusing - then I realized that the original is often misheard as containing the work 'king' - it is actually 'kin' - but king would not do for the US.

    It only works with a way of speaking which drops the final g in words ending in 'ing'

    Good tidings we bring
    To you and your kin

    looks as though it doesn't rhyme. It does in Yorkshire.

    I just heard that the prediction for round 2 of snow here in my neck of the woods this Thursday...though the call (right now) is only for a couple of inches this time.
    We'll see...
