I was North of Boston in the good old US of A about 3 years ago, and we must have had about 3 feet of snow overnight, by 10am all the main roads were clear, and all schools and businesses were open. And a great days skiing was had by all. As George said they were prepared and had mechanisms in place, but we are really c**p at anything out of the ordinary in this country.

The point is Boston regularly has a lot of snow, so it"s cost effective for them to invest in the technology and manpower to clear it quick. It just wouldn"t be worth the money for us to spend that much.
The very fact that they got 3 feet of snow to start with highlights the difference.

George2Loose:
OK so should we have mechanisms in place for every weather eventuality??? Obviously they cleared the roads and had the equipment to do so cos it"s a common occurance. Snow here isn"t- and if it is it usually doesn"t settle long enough for the roads etc to be a problem
WarBwastardo:
Since when does our Government concern itself with cost effectiveness? They spent about a billion pounds on a Dome so we could have a millennium party...that"s a once in thousand year event. They can"t wait to get up in the morning and waste money. How much does the UK economy lose because of this sort of thing? All the disruption costs miwyans and miwyans, so it might make sense to invest money in contingency plans to prevent an even greater losses because no one can get to work, or can"t do any work when they get there. Bit of forward would be nice is all I"m saying. You can guarantee that if this occurs next winter it"ll be the same chaos. Chaos I tells ya. Morris dancing everywhere there"ll be.
