And NOW it's snowing in Royston.

Half our staff has already dashed off, I can see stationary traffic on the road from here, and unless it eases off, I'm walking home.

I wont mention the amount of snow we have here at the moment and the fact that everyone carries on like normal.

The only worrying fact is that every car in the garage has snow chains on apart from mine, hmmmm.

In fact, the same quantity of snow causes problems the world over. That quantity is "significantly more than usual". In southern England, that means any snow. In (e.g.) the north-east US, it might be three feet. But it's the same principle. And any claims that the US is better at handling snow can easily be refuted by seeing what happens when somewhere like Dallas gets an exceptional snow shower, and the whole place shuts down.
