Ocasionally we get an inch or two of snow and you would think the world was coming to an end.Let's just go ahead and shut down Houston,TX,fourth largest city in the US and also close the busiest industrial port in North America.The night before all the grocery stores are packed with idiots stocking up for the horrible 12 hour seige of temperatures as low as 30F.

its not the uk its only parts of it .weve had snow drifts in northumberland over 4ft high but we still manage to get to work. in london or the south they dont have enough equipment to deal with the certain elements even when they know its coming.in such a built up area it should be easier to cope with it rather than the open land we live in

Well its not pathetic really. Its because we don't get regular snow. In scandanavia it buckets down but then they drive around with snow chains on. We dont because it doesn't happen and we're just no used to it.

No its not pathetic. In this country snow each year is not a certainty and it isn't worth spending millions on snow ploughs etc. to clear a a fall of snow once in ,say, five years.
