Snow hits the UK (well, England, anyhow) again...

My car has been making it to work here in Northwest PA . Surprizing a 15 year old oldsmobile gets through this stuff pretty good. We get these huge snows I have yet to put on snowtires. Snow removal here is actually very good though we know it is coming. This year we are setting records though and so far is the 5th snowiest since it has been recorded. We still have February and March to go maybe April too so we are gunning for number 1.

Here in the Panhandle of Texas, we had a dusting of snow 2 weeks ago, and I do mean a dusting. Yesterday, the County Commission declared a "No Burn" status because of our dry conditions.

Ain't that the way it goes.....

Well just for fun maybe in Britain you can come up with some clever names for the current snowfall. Here are a few for you. Snowmageddon 09, Snowpocolypse 09, Take soem time you can come up with a few.

I remember when we had some snow when I lived in Seattle. It was a big disaster there. (as I imagine it is in Britain) Here in Erie PA it is just a Tuesday.

I was thinking along the lines of "SNOFU", but "Snowpocolypse" is miles better :devil:

I always find it amusing how a couple of inches of the white stuff grinds the UK to a standstill, whilst Russia, Scandinavia, Canada, half the US and half of Europe regularly have several feet of the stuff and go about business as usual.
In general, driving standards here are embarrassing.

Lightweights is about right. :nonono:

Hear hear. I lived in Canada for two years and that was snow. Over here, it's just a convenient excuse for a day off.

Ice-terminate!

Of course there is a reasonable scientific explanation for this. http://www.venganza.org/piratesarecool4.gif

You can see the spike in cold weather coincides with the spike in pirate activity in Somalia.
