Im traveling on the train from leciester to swindon tomoz, its going to be fun![]()
Not to the same degree at all. Got stuck at Gatwick for 7 hours once as that's how long it took for the plane to get a dose of de-icer on the wings.....
That is why Heathrow stays open when every other major airport in the country closes.
The other airports just don't have enough snow ploughs to clear the runways etc.
Remember last year there was a video doing the rounds of two people bailing out of a car on an icy road in the UK?
Well i'm not sure if it's been posted yet, but this has to be a contender for 'muppet driving in snow of the year' for 2010.

Edit: 'oh god she's going to cry' - I'm sure putting it on the internet will help that.![]()
Cheltenham was a no go area yesterday. 8 inches of snow, same a Cirencester. It sucks![]()
According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia,within a few years winter snowfall will become "a very rare and exciting event".
"Children just aren't going to know what snow is," he said.
David Parker, at the Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research in Berkshire, says ultimately, British children could have only virtual experience of snow. Via the internet, they might wonder at polar scenes - or eventually "feel" virtual cold.
We have tractors round here with snowplows that do that Cheets, not some dude on a Telehandler
Howcome he showed up?
Wut, this is the worst snowfall I have ever seen, last time it was close to this was in the 90s
