Yes, but there is probably HEAPS of it to be had just outside your
door....

the colour of urban snow, even when not actually yellow, is not such as to
inspire one to culinary excellence........


Hmmm...


Was OK to eat in london in the 50's.


Way fewer cars in the 50s.


Just so long as it fell in the morning or there was a good breeze.


In cities snow often doesn't fall as snow - it turns to slush as soon
as it hits the ground. Cities - and towns - tend to be warmer than
the surrounding countryside. Then you get a heavy fall of snow on the
ring roads around and arterial routes into the city, blocking the
transport of supplies into the city.
