Yes, and I bet they kept going too instead of grounding to a halt like
this country.

Well yes, but they do tend to get a lot of snow, every year. Eight feet
in this event alone.

But we should be able to cope better than we do.
It's not as if a few inches of snow is a once in thirty year event,
for which we could be forgiven for it causing chaos.
No, even in these GW times it still ocurrs one or more times
per winter so we should manage an awful lot better than we do.
Occaisonal heavy snow in winter is still part of the British climate.
