Britons and the Snow

Well, local articles have been talking about the snow non-stop in every newspaper. Basically the whole Island came to a standstill. Here is our road before it got plowed. Yes, the plow did come, but they didn't plow many back lanes where lots of people live which causes a problem. And you know how in the states, there is a law that says that you have to clear your area of sidewalk in front of your house so no one slips on it?........well they don't have that rule here, and no one clears it. So the sidewalks are still very treacherous as we speak 3 days after the snow. In fact, the snow is still not cleared properly in lots of places, so much so that some things were still canceled because of the snow today! Not because of more snow today mind you, the snow on Monday! Can you believe it? I couldn't especially because we got the most, and the most was around 4 inches of snow. The problem is that since they only get snow every 18 years (yes that is the is the last time it snowed this much!) they have no idea what to do. No one thinks it is important to shovel their driveway, and the town doesn't feel responsible for making the roads safe, so they tell everyone to stay home. Then the complaint is that England lost millions of pounds due to no one at work for 2 days. Well, here is my solution oh Great Britain: Either plow the snow or deal with money loss! Well, anyway I enjoyed the snow, and I hope you enjoyed the pictures. This snowfall was certainly a momentous occasion around here. And they think it may snow again today, but as we speak it is raining, so who knows, maybe we are back to normal!
