Nothing but a snow storm can stop

me from getting to the Netherlands today, to attend the 2012 YCM Forum in Apeldoorn - running until Friday 24th February. Or, if I can carefully say, not apparently even a snow storm. At Helsinki-Vantaa, they are not uncommon, and so it seems to be business as usual.

I spend some time this morning deciding whether to put on the usual pair of long johns, if only for the short transfer to the airport, but what's really on my mind is that I'm secretly hoping I would be wearing them this week, and that another Siberian wave will freeze the canals again. Pea-soup on the ice, with mustard. Am I only dreaming?
