My house is snuggling in a nice 5-inch north London blanket of snow and
outside, traffic noise has decreased to the level it normally is at
night. The atmopheric pressure and the supplied heating must be doing
something to the sound transmission qualities of air.

My hi-fi sounds wonderful....

Nothing wrong with wood dust (mdf) for speaker enclosures. Probably better
than wood.

They haven't plowed the streets?

Or is London like Atlanta, where deep snow is so rare that they don't even
have any plows to send out?

pressure and the supplied heating must be doing something

The snow on the roofs acts as an acoustic isolator of sorts.

My hi-fi sounds wonderful....

Especially after due consideration of the effort required to go out and do
something else! ;-)

Ere Arny, what's a plow? For that matter how do you pronounce it?

Or should it be plough?

It's a 20yr weather event, says the weather ppl. London's
big enough to create its own warm dry microclimate, maybe,
but anyway, cold wet weather usually pushes in from the
North West, and mostly doesn't get as far as the South East.
Boris the Mayor said there's no point in being constantly
equipped, which seems quite sensible.

Here in the North, we haven't had worse than usual.
Bradford's buses were mostly operational. Hence more of our
taxes
are spent on maintaining a fleet of gritters and ploughs.

I don't suffer from traffic noise. My problem is screaming
Slovaks, and it doesn't sound like snow offers any
attenuation.

I'm under the impression that it is bad manners on an international forum to
correct words that are properly spelled in the writer's dialect.

This isn't an international forum, it is a UK forum. It is good
manners for the visitor to adopt the spelling of the host country.
