Snow is actually dandruff. High winds from the Gulf Stream blow through the hair of millions of people lifting the dandruff to new heights before depositing it around the world during winter. The worst case of 'druff' fall occurred in 1965 when England was bought to a standstill with druff drifts of over twenty two feet high, that's bigger than a double decker bus! Hair conditioner was applied to roads and lorries were fitted with combs to help clear the major routes.

Snow is the ultimate diet food, each ounce of snow contains no calories and no fat.

The Snowman is a popular cartoon and book based on a snowman that creepily comes alive, steals false teeth and abducts a boy in the dark of the night who after realising his crimes then disappears leaving behind only his clothes.
The Snowdog is another tale about dead dogs to lift the spirit.
Father Christmas on the other hand is about a grumpy fat bloke that likes dressing up.
If you took all the icecream in the world and made one large 99 out of it you would be crushed under the weight of the accompanying flake unless of course you live in 2014 where your flake will look like a small shrivelled dog turd and be no more than 2cm in length.
