Re: Exactly how badly the British deal with Snow
I don't know about the rest of the state... but we were in a good spot. Close to Lake Michigan, so there was that.... and pretty close to Chicago, which was also nice. Not much else to say about it. I'd guess Indiana is pretty bland as far as states go. You got Indianapolis and you got................. oh well. Still, had some good times there.

Well good point, u can ask the same question about any state in the US and it all depends on where you are in the state. I’ve lived in my state for twenty years and couldn’t answer that question to everyone’s satisfaction, not like live seen every inch of the state
Re: Exactly how badly the British deal with Snow
I found myself agreeing with the Rep from Kentucky. We're a bit soft with "cold" days now. We used to have minor Earthquakes and were still required to attend class ;D. Miss the snow though. Not mush snow or that sheet of ice inches thick covering the road but fat fluffy white snowfall. On a side note one of the more despicable things we also did moons ago was drive around tackling neighborhood snowman. They never saw it coming.
Re: Exactly how badly the British deal with Snow
Just curious, in let’s say London or pick a couple other popular English areas what are the coldest levels you have hit in the past two years. Please state in farenheight so I don’t need to do math.

London is mild. Why only England? Scotland will have the lowest temperatures and most snow. Wales too has had more snow than England.

Because I was curious and figured I’d ask rather than look it up. It’s not a contest we have plenty of states in the US that have no winter, relatively speaking, I just happen to live in the New England area where in the summer it’s 100f and winters we freeze our balls off. And we bitch about all of it but for some reason we like it

Stop bragging. Yesterday I was up in the mountainous part of the island, and I swear the wind chill up there must've plunged all the way down to 65°F.

Well, I live in Somerset in South West England.
Last March, which was unusually cold, we had -2.2 F with the wind chill.

That’s frickin cold. This -20 shit we been getting is not a normal thing. Mr X does that include snow and ice storms and the like.

Re: Exactly how badly the British deal with Snow
It snowed so heavily in Europe a couple of weeks ago that the weight would cause the roof of houses to fall in. Owners had to move this snow and some died in accidents doing just that.

To they build more flat type roofs. Not saying that doesn’t happen here but even with a good 5 foot blizzard I don’t hear it a lot. People do need to hire companies to do removal after big storms
