Well its arrived the first winter snow fall about 8-12 inches and the country has rolled to a halt. Will we never learn how to cope in England? Its time our goverment takes a good look at how things are done in europe and the US. Still a very Merry Christmas to you all where ever you abide
Age is only a state of mind, keep the mind active and enjoy life
The problem is Phil that your part of England is closer to Siberia that my part. No snow here and life is going on much as usual.

If you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there. Lewis Carroll English author & recreational mathematician (1832 - 1898)
How are things done in the US?
Some years ago, in (usually) sunny Southern California, the Highway Patrol closed a major through road over a mountain pass (Tehachapi) for 1/4 inch of powder snow!
If the authorities had done the same in New York (where I was born) or South Dakota (where I was stationed for a while) a car owner could garage his wheels in October and come back for them sometime in April.
On Tehachapi, while the road was closed, the railroad just kept on rolling.
Merry Christmas from Sunny Southern - Nevada.

Well, get out the snow plow and have some fun!
