    Considering the yellow weather warning and snow this morning in Scotland, I think I’d choose walking to Tasmania as well.

      I’m scared to ask what a yellow weather warning in Scotland is, must mean it’s pishing down?

        Pishing down, with snow!

        It wasn’t much, but enough to make traveling stressful and idiots slide all over the place.

        Yellow warning is our lowest level warning.

          As someone who’s seen snow up close once, it seems kind of cool. Like turning your commute into a rally stage

            We get about 3 months a year of snow where I live (and 5 months of below freezing. Used to be a proper 5 months of snow not 25 short years ago but climate change has shifted that noticeably) the snow is absolutely magical and I can’t imagine living somewhere that doesn’t get it. Yes it makes a mess of commutes and drivers who don’t know how to drive in snow (literally just drive like a grandma, and of course make sure you have “all season” tires not those touring tires that are the default) and yeah whatever snow accumulates on the sidewalk and driveways you need to clear off, but you just do what you gotta do and appreciate the wonderland the snow turns the world into
