Posterous theme by Cory Watilo

Snow in the UK. Country grinds to a halt.

It's amazing how well we in the UK don't cope with a few inches of snow.
Despite the met office assuring us over the last seven days that we were in for a significant spell of Arctic like weather with some serious snow falls over the weekend, we have a situation this morning.

 London has pretty much ground to a halt. No buses are running, the subway system has no trains running and both runways at Heathrow are shut. There are delays on most of the main line rail links and to top it all off, the mobile phone networks almost fell over under the strain of people trying to call in or text to say they wouldn't be going in to the office today.

 Hello, is this a 21st century first world country?

 The TwitterVerse is awash with #uksnow tweets and photo's on Twitpic. It was the number one trend for most of the morning.
Other countries manage, why don't we?
