You have a point. I suppose not everyone is as able to cope with snow as I am, although this amout of snow seems to be getting more and more common, so I hope the government comes up with a good plan.Monkfish Acc. said:

The only problem for me is that the temperature plummets, and I'm too much of a cheapskate to put the central heating on. So need to go buy fingerless gloves and thermals, to wear indoors for the next 2 or 3 months.
You have to admit though, snow IS very pretty to look at...

I know what you mean I could sit for hours just looking at the snow steadily falling upon the landscape.Danzaivar said:
I can understand Spain, Southern France, Italy and such not really planning for snow and ice... But really, even if we forget the snow, in Britain winter equals cold wet weather.
Didn't every english person learn pretty early on in primary school that ice happens in winter. It's ice that is dangerous, it's ice we slip on.
And after last year, surely England has a plan.
I had a power cut a month back... Next day I bought a flashlight so my mobile wouldn't run out of batteries.
England had "Treacherous" snow last year and this year they are having the same problems.
DUH!!!!!

Better than America where everyone is freaking out about the flu or avian flu or swine flu (M1H1 or whatever)
It's so tiring because the news freaks out EVERY DAY about it then idiots who believe in that nonsense flip out about it
"THIS YEAR FLU IS AT AN ALL TIME HIGH!" I'm sure...but so was the last year, and the year before that and the year before that.

Exactly my point, you'd think people would be used to it by now and just shrug it off.Snotnarok said:
Well, I just looked out the window and saw some stupid slag in a 4x4 step out the back end of her car and miss my parked car by about a foot.
Fucking stay home if you don't know what you are doing. If that ***** had clipped my vehicle I would have been out in the fucking blizzard screaming abuse at her for being a stupid little ****.

I'm looking outside at the moment. We have about an inch laying on the ground and the skies are blue and clear.
If it gets worse, just drive slower and wear an extra layer of clothing. I really can't see what all the fuss is about. This country makes a royal fuck-up of everything whenever it isn't merely grey and damp. Any sway towards warm or cold and apparently we're all gonna die!!
I feel this is fairly apt

It's about 2 inches thick over here (Hull) and everyone was panic buying, some people have said they can't come into work even though the roads are clear.
People are stupid. Fortunately, these stupid people are the ones who stand under trees in a lightning storm and fancy a bit of toast in the bath.

Got to love England. WHen there is even a few centimeter of snow we all go tits up and nothing will work. It doesn't help we don't have snow tires, our pipes were built to close to the surface so they froze and snapped last year, some people can't drive in snow etc etc. I go out in the morning and the snow just about clears my shoes and then I go over to Norway for a holiday and then the snow goes up to my knee caps and yet they seem to be doing just fine. Man we are pathetic.
EDIT: At the moment we have 0cm in Northamptonshire although it did snow earlier but it melted.

I was gonna post this after reading first post... Beat me to it! But I've already noticed the coverage last night, with reporters standing out in a blizzard trying to tell us about how its snowing...GrindBass said:
I blame the BBC being southern.
Honestly, I'm in the south at the moment, and for the past week or two, they've been whining about how cold it is. Sometimes it's a bit chilly, but nothing colder.
Weaklings. I thought it was almost t-shirt weather today- it was only a bit of snow.

Exactly. I haven't bothered getting dressed yet today 'cos I woke up late. So I've been having my smokes in the garden in a bath-robe and flip-flops!!Sebenko said:

Seriously, here in Norway we can get metres of snow, and we cope just fine. It's not even an issue.
Buy some snow ploughs and winter tyres. Problem solved.
A couple of drunk idiots.TestECull said:Just have one of these sitting in the back yard for when the weather turns icy. It did, after all, make it all the way to the north pole piloted by a couple of idiots.
I hope it snows here in the south of Ireland, it snowed for a bit this morning byt it didn't stick.
