Yes my school has finally closed.
You really should put the effort in to dig that out and let it run for a few hours, or else it's going to be dead when you really need it.
You can't just stick snow ploughs on buses or garbage trucks though.
As I pointed out in my post. In Canada they use the big snow ploughs for clearing stuff like Motorways. You can't have a snow plough pushing through a town center, pushing snow all onto the pavement, where there could also be people walking by.
As I said, they will typically use JCB type machines for those kind of tasks. Yes we have those, but most of them are owned by plant hire companies who again aren't going to give them out for free.
The thing is, there are lots of other ways, aside from just ploughing snow that could make peoples lives easier if winters get worse. Make winter tyres mandatory up North... carry snow chains... etc...
Run for a couple of hours? Are you kidding? it'll be fine, I don't intend on starting it until I need it.
This is the main line from London to Maidstone/Ashford at lunchtime today, near Eynsford. It might help explain why the trains aren't running.
Ok then, I know plenty of people who have had problems getting the car going in similar conditions. It's basically sat in a fridge, the snow covering plus cold air temperatures won't do it any favours.
Why on earth did you even bother trying?
-10C, 2feet of snow and freezing fog and I still had a van rammed right up my arse on the way home tonight.
