what will they do, how will they cope?
the traffic jams will be miles long, people stuck in jams or on trains

subject, resignations will be demanded, questions asked in parliament
- how can this happen, its supposed to be mild, how does the country
grind to a halt because of one snowflake?

Why do people have to raise this drivel every winter - it's soooooooo

=====================================

I couldn't agree more.

I recall the Central Belt not coping very well one day last winter.
And the rate at which snow fell at times last winter (not 'the odd
snowflake') in the heavily populated SE meant that disruption was
inevitable, as it would be any part of the country, and (received
wisdom notwithstanding) in Europe.

Severe weather is sometimes hard to get around in, that's all there is
to it. Mind you, there won't be much settling on the roads for most
tomorrow morning. Some slushy stuff away from high ground.
