School was cancelled Monday, and there is supposed to be a blizzard tomorrow. Today and yesterday were supposed to be the only non-snowing days from when it started snowing to this weekend and it's snowed a lot both days. Freak winter weather ftw  | ||

Though, +30 celcius here in the summer would be chaos xP Haha, i know hey? We've had this much snow for more than a month now here in Edmonton. Just drive slow and never break all the way and driving isn't even that bad. Although, granted, i learned to drive in winter conditions and adjusted to summer conditions not vice versa. | ||

This is the only sensible post tbh. It would be ridiculous for the UK to pay as much as it would have to for snow protection especially seen as this is the first time we have had snow in november for donkey's years. Seriously, you nordics laughing about how silly we are to not have realised this happens every year are delusional. Its snowed in the last 3 years for a week. It would seem pointless to prepare for an event that if averaged out over the last thirty/fourty years would likely happen once a year. Also, you seem to misunderstand the british media and our country in general, our favourite pastime is moaning, thats why our news coverage is so good. In general we are wise cynical old scroats who have butlers called winthorpe. So dont take us too seriously when we are moaning and bitching about snow, most of us are enjoying ourselves secretly anyways. | ||

Best piece of Newswipe IMO. I can understand the UK is being overwhelmed by this early snowfalls this year. As my climate is also very maritime the snow, which is maybe not even half the size as in England, is causing serious traffic jams. | ||

Anyway, good luck to UK people. We had ridiculous snow last year (the year before was like...3 inches all winter) in New Jersey. 4 different blizzards...3+ feet each time (about 90cm?) And they were perfect timing attacks too. Once everything got cleared enough to open up again after the first storm, the second one hit...and it kept going. All I can say is....gas up. | ||

I live in the NE of England and it's been snowing every day for about 5 days, there's about 6 inches of snow on the ground right now and we are simply not equipped to deal with it because it DOESN'T happen every year! It snowed ridiculously heavily last year and that was an absolute shock to us. Most years the snow doesn't even lay for more than about 12 hours. So much misinformation in between the 5 or so rational posts. | ||

And I love how the news channels set up cameras facing very slippery positions. Instead of you know putting a sign up maybe? Helping people out? | ||

Funny as hell to listen to the English whine about their snow, when it honestly wasn't that bad at all. Lol @ that youtube video, loved it. | ||
