Always amazes me how a dusting of snow can always cause such total chaos.

that's a couple of foot then is it?

[Extra 300 Driver]

Me too, but I guess we do not get the amount that warrants snow tyres or major investment.

Norwich got another load tonight.

Its the way of the world, well over here anyway. A minor sprinkling of snow and the world comes to an end

I'm off to Poland on Thursday. Apparently the sea has frozen and people are driving on it. And everyone here is worried that they'll have to defrost their windscreens!

silly news piece said:

However, many drivers found themselves stuck in long queues in morning rush-hour as they battled to get to work and take children to school.

Bloody hell, that doesn't happen often :/

Most things stop and grind to halt - means people like me can go have fun in empty car parks, so long as theres enough of the white stuff!

We've had a few feet in a few hours, and everyone just gets on ith it. It's normallity over here though. It's not often we get doused with1 cm of snow in the UK!

Wonder what we get dazzled by then? Snow is the least of problems here

Oh for heaven's sake, whatever happened to making slides of sheet ice and falling over....

I noticed that too - what about the novel idea of putting some salt on the bloody playground! and balls to the risk of getting sued, how about ensuring the job is done properly
