So jealous that we don't get as many snow days as everyone else. Curse our hardy nature. The only time that Canada really shuts down is when we get severe icing on the roads. | ||

Really you should just use the uploader, as it automatically resizes the image... Kinda sucks that the cities/government isn't prepared to deal with snow, but I don't know if it's worth it buying lots of equipment for just a couple days every year. | ||

In canada when theres big snow fall, the roads are loaded with salt/sand trucks + plows all night long and through the day + snow tires + everyone is used to driving in it. It sounds ridiculous, but its actually a pretty reasonable situation imo.] edit: ah i didn't realize this happens every year. Do you not have snow tires in UK lol? This. They should hire more Canadians! :D | ||

This is the earliest and biggest snowfall since 1993 and certainly the most snow that I can remember seeing. Anyway here's the view out my window atm ![[image loading]](http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/1962/dsc00015kg.jpg) It is funny to see how the "chaos" in some place is other's normal day. There were already week ago that much snow and -18 celcius outside here in Finland. Though, +30 celcius here in the summer would be chaos xP | ||

"OMG, it snowed, WE SUDDENLY ALL FORGOT HOW TO DRIVE OUR CARS" "1mm snow on the street, OMG, SOMEONE TRIGGER NATIONAL EMERGENCY PLANS" How is it to live in those fair weather countries?  | ||

Yesterday was the first snow of the season in London, but it didn't pile up and really shouldn't have affected anything as it was melting as soon as it hit the ground. I was expecting a package yesterday and got this message about 20 minutes after it started snowing. lol seems like you guys are just looking for excuses to be lazy for a few days a year  | ||

Every year at about the same time in November, citizens of the northern half of Germany are surprised about that in winter, snow can fall, and cause chaos on our beloved autobahns :-) As I spoke with a londoner yesterday and he said it never snows there and he is so sad about that, I hope you brits enjoy the white kiss of winter :-) | ||
