Snow causes road chaos
Police in Gloucestershire say dozens of motorists have got stuck in snow. The worst affected areas are around Cheltenham and Cirencester - where between 300 and 400 cars have been abandoned. Gritters are struggling with the conditions.(From BBC Web Site)
Where as when i went to New York they have the worst Snow Fall for 10 Years, 6" in an hour or more. Snowed all night, by morning all main roads in NY were clear and Gritted and Traffic was not at a stand still, some cars on the side raods were completly covered in snow. There were also pile of snow 10-15 feet high in places too, but still they dealt with it as soon as it happened.
Why when a little bit of Snow falls in the UK it can't cope?

Highway Code Rule 203: In winter check the local weather forecast for warnings of icy or snowy weather. DO NOT drive in these conditions unless your journey is essential. If it is, take great care. Carry a spade, warm clothing, a warm drink and emergency food in case your vehicle breaks down.
is work an essential journey?
Unfortunately for me I could actually walk to work if I wasn't able to drive so I have no excuses for not being here.
Is it really that bad up your way today? Apart from being amazingly cold we have no snow down here today.
NO its not bad poeple are just crap at driving in snow.
so you still drive to work amy even tho it is walking distance - Lazy Git!
Yeah! I had to walk the other day when my car was in the garage and was surprised it didn't take me as long as I thought but it's too cold to walk at the mo!
I have long been a beliver that england is pathetic.
Aparently its just as bad in wales though. There was sheet ice in west wales on some roads, the gritters went out twice during the night but it was washed away.
Department of transport is just a joke. The problem that we have in this country though is because we are so bad in dealing with snow, when we see 4 flakes fall from the sky Everyone panics and heads off home jamming the roads, which doesnt give a chance for the snow ploughs to get through.
In america Ben, everyone just stays in work, giving the ploughs a chance to clear the roads. Basicly people in the uk are just Wankers
