Pathetic, you call 10 centimeters of snow a snowstorm? Thats the daily quota here.

ATM we have 20 cm of snow(take into consideration a good third has already melted) and had school, some places have from half a meter to 80cm of snow and no school cancellations. The UK isn't being hit hard, it's just too lazy to do anything about it and join the modern age where we have plows to sort out roads and sidewalks

But it's SNOW, in the UK! That's a rare occurrence, it causes everyone's brains to stop functioning!

You're getting what other countries get in half a day!

Yes, but we're the UK, it's like the apocalypse when it snows!

But you're so "advanced" surely it should be no problem sorting it out.

hes right

no i hope not anyways

Heh, most we had in this city was 2 meters about 20 years ago according to some people.

where did you hear we was getting tornadoes

Heh, we aren't very advanced here compared to Europe

And apparently we get the most tornadoes per unit are per unit time than any other country. Of course, they're all rubbish tornadoes, but whatever

UK for tornados = win ^^

(even though we just count any wind around as a tornado lol)

we get the most rain

We get some pretty fast wind, up to a 150 km/h, blows off roofs.

not a tornado tho

Now, for those of you who like more than a setup to a joke...
There's only 2 things we UK folk love right? That's moaning, and queuing. Why do we like to queue? So we can have a jolly good moan about it. How slowly its moving, how long it is, and how those rude foreginers keep pushing in because they have no clue about what a bloody good queue looks like.
Also we love to moan about the weather, clearly as 10cm causes nationwide devastation and upset to the whole UK.

Was listening to Internet radio and they called it a 'blizzard'.

When I think of a blizzard, I imagine horizontal snow where the wind is pushing it so fast - frozen statues of humans sprawled across the streets, houses being broken in to by dreaded hail, like a white pompeii. None of this happened, it was just a little snow fall that lasted maybe a few hours here and there.

It didn't stop me from getting to work, and that's saying something.

There's not much need for the UK to spend vast amount of money on preparing itself for snow, as its just so rare. A few days every 5-9 years off because of snow isn't going to kill.

Don't worry, the tornadoes that make national news here are the ones that pick up, at most, a bin.

but bins are important!

Got back home from school.

40 CM of snow, guess what NONE on the road NONE on the sidewalks, lots of it on the cycling lanes thought. But seriously, we can handle 40 with ease, you'd think the UK could handle 10.

but oggy, we have one of the busiest working weeks in Europe (our workers work more hours in general) so it's nice to have a break once in a while ^^

there had been no snow in the north east
lol at all of you

But it was my bin that got blown away :O.

We probably have the highest amount of chavs as well of rain i expect.....
