17th January 2013: the cold wind cries.

I spent most of my day talking about similes and metaphors. Sat in a Year 7 class doing my community enrichment, being asked if a line was good enough to be put into their poem. The irony was that their poems had to be about the sun; at no point during today did I see the sun? Then later on after my PE lesson finishing the cardio system, we had to talk about yet more similes and metaphors, with hints of personification, but this time from the famous 'I Have A Dream' speech from Martin Luther King. With the quote 'sweltering with the heat of...' sticking in my mind. I'm sure you've all guessed what I'm going to talk about... The Snow. Even though, we've only had a sprinkle so far, pretty much the whole country is panicking about the snow that's due to fall all over England in the next few days... However, the forecast for where I live, has changed at least 3 times today... Increasing the amount of snow and the amount of time it's going to be snowing for... This morning I woke up thinking we'd have a little bit tomorrow morning, and that would be it, then I sat in school to hear it would be quite a bit over Friday and Saturday, and now I'm sat here thinking 'REALLY?!' because it's changed yet again! Now, they're saying we're going to have a fair amount of snow over Friday, Saturday, Sunday AND Monday... Believe me, I don't mind missing school and stuff, but I was sort of looking forward to playing cricket this weekend, and being able to see my Dad before his birthday, now both of these are looking unlikely.. The snow is great and it's VERY useful when taking photos, BUT you end up not being able to get anywhere, not being able to do much, and getting behind on a few days of school work, which isn't great, anymore.. Sat in those English lessons today talking about sweltering heats and the warmth of the sun, with my Mum texting me every now and then saying 'It's snowing!' and then 5 minutes later texting again to say 'It's stopped!!' The British weather needs to make it's mind up, it either needs to snow loads tonight so they call school off nice and early, preferably BEFORE I get there... Or it needs to be a little bit to make it look pretty but not cause too many disruptions... Personally, I love the snow, although I'm beginning to realise the for the people that hate it, do you hate the snow, or do you hate all the inconveniences caused by uncautious drivers, school closures, train delays and phone/electricity lines that can't take it so collapse on a house or a tree or a car...
Anyway, I'm off out for a walk in the snow that's just started outside... :P

Feel free to comment below, do you like the snow? Do you miss the summer?
