Slow news day; this is the worst it's hit the UK in 18 years and we aren't prepared for it. Plus the added affect of "snow days" from work being declared has on the economy is negative (a load of stocks where sold this morning due to worry how the snow will affect the prices).

No work again tomorrow hopefully :D: This we made last night, with the little snow we had: And this we made today with the DEEP snow we had :D.

Chicane-UK Veteran Posted February 2, 2009 Veteran Share Posted February 2, 2009 Was only a light sprinkling here through the morning but it's really starting to come down this afternoon/evening.. hope it's appalling tomorrow so I don't have to go into work. They already sent everyone home early from work today.. so if it's the same tomorrow morning, surely we won't have to go in!

peacemf Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 lol only in the UK the rest of europe can easily deal with this kinda snow, but the UK for some reason cant! for example! if more than 2" of snow is expected, the salt pouring trucks come out late at night, and in the morning a quick sweep is done of major roads..... ah well, then again i cant remember the last time is snowed in the UK :s Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/688692-snowing-in-uk/page/8/#findComment-590518098 Share on other sites More sharing options...
»X« Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 if more than 2" of snow is expected, the salt pouring trucks come out late at night, and in the morning a quick sweep is done of major roads..... Whats wrong with that? Nothing is more hardcore than braving 2" of snow without any gritting or plowing eh. The roads around my way were like glass when I woke up this morning. Cars wheels spinning but going nowhere. If anything there wasn't enough done. After all, didn't we know about this snow at the start of LAST week?

what Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 its 2 inches of snow, their is nothing hardcore about that. When we only get it once or twice a year so it'd be a waste to invest in more gritters/ploughs/whatever, it is. Well, probably not 'hardcore', but it's not surprising we struggle to cope with it.
