Edit- Just looked on a local weather site and schools are closed only 5 miles up the road.

To quote from the above BBC report:
"Gritters have been out and drivers told not to travel unless it is essential."
I think I'd be "gritting" also. Brrr!

Wheres the Lowlands? Temp this morning was in the 50's and the only snow I saw was on the cars coming from Upcountry=======About 4 miles away.
England gets crippled By any extreme of the weather- Bit of frost- Cars won't start. Bit of snow roads get impassable- Bit of rain and the roads get flooded. Or at least thats the excuse my co-workers give when they get in an hour late at work from 5 miles away. I travel 30 miles and always get in 30 minutes early.
Lord help us when the temp gets into the 70's and the roads start melting

In New England we have nine months of winter and three months of damned poor sledding.
