Coping with Snow

[kiteman]

Hi Fretters

If you didnt know, England is covered in snow, stopping trains, motorways and airports. How do other countries cope?

Happy holidays

Sell snow cones.

Seriously, I'm where I haven't seen snow since '83.

Well, I guess like England it doesn't snow very much here. It's a rotten mess when it does though. We have a lot of steep hills and our snow is usually very close to the freezing point which makes it very slick. Add in a bazzillion drivers that have no snow driving skill and it makes for quite a headache.

I have all-wheel drive and studded tires, but with hundreds of stuck cars plugging the roadways, that doesn't help much.

PS - The studded tires and AWD are mostly for going up in the mountains snowshoeing and such.
