England has a number of faults, but snow is not one of them. It looks lovely in the moonlight, and without it we would not get a chance to take the sleigh out and exercise Wellington and Beauregard. A splendid sight we are, dashing across the fields, just like in the song ("Jingle Bells"). I should be quite sad if Twillingsgate did not get at least 2 or 3 good snowfalls in a winter.
