Its going to snow, yippee.
Snow, white out and, according to one of Michael Fish's offshoots on the BBC we could see up to 10 centimetres in places.
Wow.
Snow.
Oh, it's going to snow.
Now, anywhere else in the Nothern Hemisphere when it snows the kids get excited, some getting time off school for "Snow Days" and adults reminisce back to their childhoods and the joys of making kiddy igloo's, snowball fights, sledging and learning 50 new ways to slide.
But in the UK it means as soon as the first flake hits the deck the country is going to come to a standstill.
The Pennines will be closed because the powers that be dont think we have the sense to to drive in snowy conditions.
Schools will close because they're not insured for your children to slip and slide around the playground just in case the fall and skuff a knee resulting in a claim for a million pound in damages.
The rail system will have to be shut down because the wrong kind of snow will have inevitably fallen on the track, and added with the wrong kind of leaves could spell disaster.
Billions of pounds will wiped off the economy because nobody will be able to leave their houses and shop for non essential items.
Those with non digital t.v.'s will lose their reception and no doubt power cuts will ensue as we put pressure on the Energy Companies as we turn up the heating and plug everything we own into the National Grid.
Even the clocks will stop.
And then, when you thought it was safe to leave the house because the sun had come out, the thawing will start.
The slush will become water and the subsequent flooding alerts will begin.
Meanwhile 600 miles away a group of so called World Leaders have decided to have a meeting about climate change and what to do about it.
Hell, even the Terminator has shown his face to have his thoughts noted on the subject. Seems like theres a new bandwagon in town and everyone who wants to have their photo taken with President Obama has come to town.
So, what's to be resolved?
Fuck all i'm guessing.
The Kyoto Protocol is long past it's sell by date and new measures have to be put in place for carbon reduction.
From what I can make out that means you and I have to use less of it.
Also from what I can make out big business will be able to "Buy" and "Sell" carbon offsets.
So, the middle class suffer again, we take the burden while those who have lots of money and no conscience get to buy their way out of the problem.
Let it snow, let it snow.......................let it snow.
