And to think with 5 inches of snow it took me one and half hours to
drive 5 miles yesterday evening.

I think the Europeans, Americans and Russians must be falling off there
seats laughing at the way a bit of snow cause so much disruption in the UK.

I blame the BBC weather forecasters. Are they not always telling us to
expect disruption? It is like a self fulling prophecy. A more positive
outlook is required instead of the doom and gloom, fear inducing crap
they peddle.

How can you possibly blame them? We are not prepared for
snow because it simply isn't worth spending the money for something
that happens quite infrequently, especially these days. The
widespread closing of schools, especially in areas where there has not
been a great deal of snow, indicates our increasing overall
soppiness. The fault is entirely ours, not the forecasters'. They
are responding to current attitudes and telling us want we want to
hear.
