uk shut down due to snow
 

i just love the fact that we get an inch of snow and we come to a complete stop.

It's not just the UK The Costa Blanca shuts down if it rains for more than an hour, schools close everything. We had about 5cm of snow lastweek and whole towns got cut off.

It's good to have snow from time to time :)


I'm so used to wear shorts and flip flops during Xmas time!

no snow here yet on the coast of Wales

get out of my country :thumbsup very nice here but fucking freezing!

The UK is gay when it comes to things like this.

We are fucking useless at dealing with supposed "extreme weather". I'd hate to see what it would be like if we had winter's like Canada etc...

As you know I lived in Canada last winter and to what we got yesterday, Canadians would laugh at us. Downtown Toronto was hit day after day with snow and nothing stopped. They are so ogranized over there, yet we got a 30 min snow fall yesterday and people are taking days off work lol.

must be global warming

The first winter I was here, we had like 1/8th of an inch of snow. I had a really long (2 hour) train and bus commute and I managed to do it. Only to arrive at work to find out they had closed because people in their cars all called out. The year before, I had been at university in Boston, Mass. where we had been made to go to class in 20 inches of snow.

I love the UK but you all are total and utter wimps when it comes to snow.

Agreed!!!

I have the eurostar home from Paris > England tomorrow.
1) there is a strike
2) UK is in a complete mess due to this snow, so my train to my town is likely to be delayed.

I am due to get home at 11pm it will be more like 11pm December 26th

lol from canada

This must be really fucked up!

I texted into a radio show over here last night. They were debating if the South or the North of the UK deals with snow better. I texted in with: 'From somebody that grew up in North America: you all suck at snow'

Nothing makes you enjoy the christmas build up like snow.

Only think I miss about the UK (well actually could do with some lemsip also)

Yep .....:1orglaugh...UK minus 5 ...what would they do if they got this as a warning lol...

They should come over here for proper winter training :thumbsup

Its usually the same in Denmark. 1 inch and the country closes.
In the last 3 days we have gotten 10+ inches can you imagine the chaos here?

Hard to believe... chaos is not good.
Take care man.
