Here we go Again

A blanket of snow will spread across the Home Counties tonight (Thursday) amid warnings of fresh travel chaos and freezing rain.  Forecasters warned up to four whole inches of snow will hit most of the south as two weather systems collide, with temperatures struggling to remain above freezing.

The Met Office issued a rare “freezing rain” warning for most of northern England and southern Scotland, prompting fears of more havoc on the country’s fragile transport networks. Experts warned that a “very dangerous” layer of ice will create a “hazard” on pavements and roads as millions of families look to travel at the start of half term.

Airports and electricity firms also were placed on high alert over the conditions which are said to be the biggest natural threat to airlines as ice ridges form on aircraft wings and leaving them crippled within minutes.

Obviously this phenomenon never happens anywhere in the world outside of Britain, does it?  And places like Russia, Scandinavia, Canada and other regions which suffers extreme snowfalls immediately grind to a halt at the first specks of snow.

GB is fast becoming the laughing stock of the world.
