2. Snow makes you look great, all pink cheeks and bright eyes
3. Snowball fights

5. Snow men
6. Makes everything look beautiful.
This is the scrap of filthy rubbish strewn land bordering the Catford train stations, even with just frost it almost looks lovely

8. Snow gives me the excuse to wear mittens as I find they keey my hands warm when mucking about with snow
9. The stunning crunch sound as you walk, one of the best sounds ever. Fact
10. Snow gives us the excuse to act like a child and it's OK, snow angles, roly poly's and running and jumping in massive snow piles!
