LOL SNOW
Andrew Gregory - 11:35am on Thursday February 5th 2009
Forget the credit crunch, the environment, corruption in the House of Lords and badly punctuated protesters outside oil refineries: IT'S SNOWING!
Yes, it's snowing, which means that all national news broadcasts are dominated by pictures of children having snowball fights and crazy estimates from GCSE-level economists about how the weather has cost Xmillion pounds in lost production. Unless the snow falls outside London, in which case we just wear an extra pair of socks and get on with it.
SNOW: a fantastic medium for japery! Such as this snow penguin sent to us today by a mysterious but no-doubt excellent-on-toast correspondent known only as Covered_in_jam:
If you have a snow penguin, ibex, warthog or eft you'd like to share, send us a picture and we'll create a gallery in the style of Tony Hart (RIP). I was going to make this a competition, but realised that it would be
- Against the spirit of snowy joy to have winners and losers.
- Unfair on our Antipodean cousins.
Quick! Before it melts!

I made a giant snow-walrus, but when I went inside to fetch my camera a polarbear came by and attacked it. Messed it up pretty bad, too. I won't be doing that again.

Then the polar bear will mess him up! Nasty creatures they are. Very tough. My father was at one time posted to Churchill Manitoba ( http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=58.745407,-94.152832&spn=4.185514,9.887695&z=7) and because he was Military Police, he got called to chase the bears. Usually they would just drive up in the jeep and honk the horn, but often they had to fire off a weapon. It was not odd to see a bear wandering down the "main street" heading toward the dump.
Cool! :)
