Well, it was loads of fun for me (it's all melting now). I can see how it's nothing but a frustration for people with places to go and people to meet, but uni was cancelled and everyone in our street just ran outside and had a massive snowfight. Most of those people I'd never seen before and it was somehow acceptable to pick snowfights with total strangers.
Then there's throwing yourself off a steep hill on makeshift sleds all day... my body still aches all over...
