On the other hand, the economic cost of perhaps 30% of people not
reporting to work at all, and an average of 1.5 hours loss of production
per person for those who do go to work must add up to quite a few millions
too.

They were saying that the snowy weather had 'cost' Britain
120m or something. Sounds horrendous but just think of
the amount saved over the last 20 yesars or so of relatively
mild winters compared to what was the norm before that.

How much did the winter of '63 cost Britain?
