Why can England handle a bit of snow?
It is rather pathetic and embarrassing. I shudder to think what we look like to other countries when they are shown reports of major British cities, especially London, grinding to a halt. It’s just a bit of snow and it was predicted since last week so there is no excuse not to be prepared with snow ploughs and plenty of grit and salt. If people want to see a real ‘snow event’ then they should look to areas of the mid US which is dealing with real blizzards, snow drifts and feet deep of snow (and I bet with less hysteria).
