Fair enough, I don't dispute what might be lying on your doorstep, but the airport fire crew & recovery squad are plainly not struggling through deep stuff in the video on the BBC News website.
My point is the inability of the UK transport infrastructure to operate under anything other than the most benign of weather conditions.
A colleague was in southern Norway last week, between five p.m. and ten at night about eighteen inches fell where we have our main european base. The bus timetable wasn't even disturbed, the trains still ran exactly to time, yet we get a light dusting and the world comes to an end.
