I think maybe we could do with a bit more of this snow. We've had 3-4 inches overnight and have just returned from a 6 mile walk taking our youngest to school. We were struck by the extreme consideration shown by motorists as we went on our way. Normally it'd routine for us to be stuck in a pedestrian refuge or junction whilst a stream of cars whizzed by seemingly oblvious to our presence but today all the drivers we came across were far more considerate and let us cross roads with no problem whatsoever. Perhaps the realisation that nobody in a vehicle is going anywhere fast accounts for this positive change of attitude but, whatever it is, I hope some of these people carry on the good work and show just a bit more consideration to pedestrians when the weather improves.
