Snowed out...

No...it's not an Alpine mountain village - it's the view from our house in Surrey. At least once a year the residents of our village are snowed in and are forced to endure an 'unofficial' holiday.

Damn bad luck! - they are forced to spend their day off work building snowmen, sliding down slopes on make-shift sleds and having show fights.

I would have joined them, but I was snowed out (not in) and had to work.
