Snow in the US

[Johnimus Prime]

There is a bit of an inclide to the drive to get out of where I work in Bristol and as more cars go up it it's been getting icier. Not too much of a problem for front wheel drive cars, but just spent the last half hour watching a BMW (rear wheel drive) struggle to get up there. I was, childishly, roflmao. I did go and help in the end though. Might need a biut of assistance myself - his wheelspinning has just made it icyer!

fresh batch of snow falling outside my window

i heard the train going from the uk to rance was knocked out due to snow,

Yeah. Apparently this time, (instead of being the wrong type of rain, or the wrong type of sun, the wrong trype of wind, the wrong type of ice, or the wrong type of leaves on the track), it was the wrong type of snow. It got clogged in the train itself and then melted and shorted all the electrics.

You forgot the leaves too. Those pesky bastards are like vermin. Can stop any train dead!

Got out of Cardiff airport with what felt like minutes to spare, the pilots saw the weather closing in and made sure we left early. It seemed like Cardiff and Bristol were the only airports left open south of Scotland. Flights from london were diverted to both....thats a nice drive after a long flight.

k question one, how is it a train that goes thru a tunnel under water cant handle a lil bit of melted snow aka water second question why is it canada and russia are the only countrys that know how to make machines that can run in a winter enviroment, someone has to help me out here, i mean we can send ppl into space but we cant build a water proof train, hell by the sounds of it water resistant would be a step up. all i hear on the news atm is how the states are in a bit of a panic as theres power outages, cars and busses not working and so forth, someone please help me out here becasue in my eyes apes seem to be doing better then we are as a species lol

Thanks, Its nice and warm, as long as I stay inside

The limit of my snow activities has been getting people unstuck... probably 12 cars so far....

I'd like to have a proper winter like this not that 2 inch tops we get in the city ...and that only if we're lucky.

I also like winter because of what Toco said and he's right.
You would think a country like Austria can handle snow but either the people are stupid or the government is too stupid.
Every year we have chaos on zhe Autobahn, mass accidents, people freezing to death (3 this year so far, after the first night of snow)
and a government that is incapable of learning from the previous year.

There is never enough personnel to not drown everything in white chaos once it starts.
Though it seems to have become better this year, the city may have gotten more organized.
That's until the guy who calls the snowplow guys gets sick and nobody knows what to do again.

Respect, Mr. Breadtruck. Where in the US of A are you ?
