I don't think it is just snow, it is the infrequency of it that causes the disruption, no-one plans for it.  We just don't have time to get used to it and therefore all our equipment and training is not geared up for it. If we were a country that had to live with it for many months of the year then we would handle it in a far better and safe way.

I love the snow but it can cause problems because the facilities to deal with it are not always in place when we need it.

Driving too, not enough tuition in the driving test to learn how to deal with it.

That goes for the extreme temperatures to, one minute it is freezing the next warm, we just don't have time to get accustomed to one or the other. xx
