3/4 of europe gets covered in snow every winter, but when britain gets a bit of snow once on a decade, they go all crazy, making drama out of it, whining how bad it is, how endangered they are etc.
get a grip ffs, its fucking frozen water, nothing more. it really is not big of a deal. i'd be more scared of your monarchy.
we don't have any infrastructure for this kind of weather like other countries do, because it's so rare. that's one reason people go ape shit, because we don't have any proper coping mechanisms.
A few days once a year is not worth the trouble, this year is genuinely a bit worse (worst for 30 years) but still not enough to do anything about it. It's also not as bad as the media makes it out to be.
Usually we get one or two days max a year of "bad" weather, this year is a big exception (and even then it's not that bad in the big cities, the places that matter :D).
not all the time. at worst maybe a month or two every winter and even this occasions are getting rare. but even when it happens we dont make a lot of fuss out of it. in a day its all under control.
Haha you should see the Americans down south go crazy. They'll get an inch of snow and close businesses, roads, and schools. In the winters here, it honestly takes FEET of snow to close things. We've had one or two feet of snow overnight (that's not rare here in the winters) and nothing will be closed. Business as usual.
I lived most of my life in New York, and I remember going to school with several feet of snow on the ground. Just a few weeks ago, I went to Christmas with my wife's family here in Texas, and during a drive of less than 2 hours, with less than an inch of snow, I counted several dozen wrecks on the side of the road.
Ahaha, sounds about right. It's hilarious, it's like when they see snow, they just turn crazy and go WHAT THE FUCK DO WE DO and suddenly don't think straight. Then crash. Or something like that.
My uni in the Northeast is notorious for never closing down school for snow days. Everyone makes it yet every year, people just forget how to drive in snow. On my way to school during a storm, I watched someone wipe out in an SUV. I was in a Yaris. Seriously.
A mathematician, a physicist, an engineer and jamerio are riding a train through Scotland.
The engineer looks out the window, sees a black sheep, and exclaims, "Hey! They've got black sheep in Scotland!"
The physicist looks out the window and corrects the engineer, "Strictly speaking, all we know is that there's at least one black sheep in Scotland."
The mathematician looks out the window and corrects the physicist, " Strictly speaking, all we know is that is that at least one side of one sheep is black in Scotland."
Jamerio looks out the window and proclaims, "We need to through these immigrants out of our country."
You have to realize that Jamerio left school in the second grade to become a world class motocross champion and arcade player. That's how got them mad skillz that all of us here on ESR envy.
Jamerio looks out the windows, annoyed, strokes his bafta and proclaims: "we need to throw all these immigrants out of the country, and you academics suck"
Jamerio looks out the windows, annoyed, strokes his bafta, worried because he couldn't afford the ticket and proclaims: "we need to throw all these immigrants out of the country, and you academics suck"
