If you live in the middle of nowhere, a couple of passes by a plow leaves the roads wide open. If instead you reside somewhere where there are millions of people who insist on cluttering up the streets making it nigh impossible for any gritter/sanding/snow clearance, then you get chaos.

Just Been down the front at Leigh on sea for a top notch constitutional. More Snow than Gram Parsons travel Bag and the radius of my testis have diminished to the mean mode and median size of alpha particles. Got two nice skate wings for £7.
Might have a steak and potato heinz big soup for lunch while listening to Jeremy Vine.

The weather is so bad that I just had to LOG IN to this site.
Jeremy Vine, eh? The current affairs show for people that don't like current affairs. That's what someone said.
Welcome back, chum.

I was down in London for the match over the weekend. As I left yesterday it was white out in Bethnal Green and a winter wonderland as we travelled through the Southern half of the country. Get to Scotiand and the sun is out.
The weather chart is upside down.
Strong and stable my arse.

Normally passengers are "stranded" outside the UK like when there was the volcano erupting in Iceland and the Navy had to rescue plucky Brits from campsites in the Dordogne.
Shirley if they're stuck at Heathrow it should be "Holiday hopes dashed for 50,000 passengers"?
Also, "de-icing meltdown"? Sounds like a baked alaska.

Seriously though, we have so little snow I actually don't have a problem that we 'can't cope'. Everyone would have to spend huge amounts of money that could be better used to have the infrastructure and equipment etc. sitting idle for 30-40 months at a time waiting for the next snow that'll last for a couple of days.
I know it's not ideal but just deal with a couple of days of awkwardness then back to normal for another 30-40 months.

Thank you South West Trains and Southern for being such a high quality service provision. Left the office early this afternoon after hearing of an incident delaying trains at Waterloo. Ended up on a tour of mainline train stations with departures towards the Epsom area which meant my usual one hour commute was two and half times as long.
SWT managed to get a trackside fire on one of the coldest and wettest days of the year so far - just as well they closed the station for a month in the summer to get that all sorted out. Then having diverted to the more downmarket environs of Victoria station to endure Southern Railways response to SWT's serving, a broken down train earlier in the afternoon which necessitated cancelling and delaying at random points all trains going anywhere in the region of South West London.
To be fair it was exciting. Having hung around for 35 minutes it was announced that a train which did leave on time - but we had 3 minutes to board from platform announcement to departure. Sort of like its a knockout for commuters at that point. A back pack I noted is the weapon of choice in the hands an expert for making way through unyielding crowds of Zombies on the concourse (my suspicion is that these are people just released by train companies when things are a bit sticky as a way to slow down access to platforms so you can enticingly see your train before it pulls out as you finally get to the platform you desire.
Obviously the train was slow and didn't go to my station, but it was as close as I could get I didn't at all begrudge the 30 minute walk in freezing condition to get home.
And breathe. Apologies. Needed to vent. Good luck to anyone else caught up in this tonight.
Never knowingly understood

Stuck at Prague airport because snow has blocked the runway at Stasted.... It's less than 2 inches of bloody snow! The plane for St Petersberg left on time... Just saying....
Oops, sorry Tonto, sliding finger across the screen and downed ya.
Just spoke to a Rangers mate who lives in Hemel. The streets are still snowed under and no grittier has been seen since the snow fell. Add to that the fact the street lights are turned off late at night must make it a barrel of laughs coming home late at night in Hemel.
As I said.....third world country.
