I want snow, but I want it all in the ski resorts. And I don't want there to be too much wind or they'll shut the gondolas and chairlifts.

And as for the dancing - well I wasn't responsible for that - I've been far too busy lately to do any dancing! :D

Well when the storms sock in this time of year, it usually means cancelled sailings, blocked roads, queues up the mountains and closed roads, windy up the top with lift closures, and pretty grim conditions all round.
Lets hope not, for her sake, but dont be at all surprised.

It's only painful if you are 10km from resort and you have lost a ski in deep snow :mrgreen:

Otherwise think of it as a description of prolonged and heavy snowfall :D
