The UK's inability to deal with snow & ice always amazes me. Granted, we don't have major problems often enough to justify huge investment in infrastructure, but there has to be some middle ground. 5 hours to get home 1 - because almost the entire rail network for the area was... colinwalker.blog

@colinwalker I have been watching everyone’s reactions on M.b to this snowstorm with a mix of comfort(?) and sympathy, because here in the southeastern US we are similarly ill-prepared for almost any, let alone significant, snow and ice because it is typically a rarity. That rarity does not seem to stop our northern and western compatriots from giving us a hard time (and worse) when a storm hits and it turns into a disaster, so it is comforting to see that there are other parts of the world that are in similar situations and have similar difficulties—though of course I also feel bad for everyone having to live through it. (We have gotten a bit better/more prepared after ~3 big storms in the last ~6-8 years, but still no fun for anyone.) Hope you get some relief soon!
