A few snow flakes south of the border and the world is coming to an end.......I must admit we get a wee bit fed up here in Scotland listening to news reports about how your all struggling...........The past few weeks up here we have loads of snow and temperatures touching minus 18 but we just put on a smile and get on with the job in hand
This old chestnut. I am pleased we don't spend billions on equipment that only gets used on average for about 3 days a year. This snow had been described as the worst in England and Wales for 50 years.
As you say, you get it alot so are used to it (although the news tells a slightly different story). Besides us Southerners probably paid for your equipment anyway...........<running behind sofa>

Fair play to the ones that made it into Swanick. I am sure some teachers could learn a thing or two! <still hiding behind sofa>.
No doubt the pax that manage to fly will appreciate the effort.
