don't eat snow that is near gravel either as it often has a lot of dirt in it. :)

most schools close because the teachers live quite a way from the schools also its health and safety for children as the areas around schools are dangerous
Careful the little cherubs don't get wet either, is that a health and safety issue as well? They might just catch a cold, or what about hailstones , that could injure them too.
Never heard such utter tosh in all my life!
Why is it teachers can't get to work, yet nurses, doctors and other health workers manage to get to their place of work.Hospital don't close because of the snow. I live in Burnley and work in Blackburn and have never missed work because of the snow and I live where you have to go up a steep hill to get to the main road. If I miss work I have to take a days holiday, if I am late I have to make the time up. Just think people see a flake of snow and it is an excuse not to go out the door.
As for the child dying, yes it was tragic but it could happen everywhere. The playground should have been gritted better.

about 25 years ago my daughter broke her leg in a non snow accident, 2 days later we had about 6 inches of snow and her school then was quite happy to have her attend with her full leg plaster cast , all I had to do was hire a wheelchair to get her to and from school - I had no car in those days

majority of deaths in the home where due to accidental injury due to other factors in the home, and not due to the structure of the house itself.
