And people say that the weather is small talk.

But when the weather is actually snow it becomes far more than small talk.  It has an actual impact on many different areas of life.  It always seems to have an effect on people's moods as the general tenor of most people I interact with becomes enlightened and positive.  Everybody who is not for it, however, really seems to be against it.  There is not very many who do not care much either way.

It also has a financial impact on many people, myself included.  Those who deal in transportation as a part of their labor functions are certainly affected, many in a negative way specifically.  And what about the electricity company?  I am sure they are happy to see everybody using their heaters more just to stay warm enough.

I think it also effects many casual expense/luxury sorts of businesses.  People are so less inclined to actually get out and about.  Some of this would come from the slight increase of danger in travelling by vehicle.  Which in itself would likely increase the business/frequency of need for health care provisions.

Oh well...  It means I get to sleep in with a slightly lighter conscience about it.  Time to lay me down to sleep big time!
