Uk Closed

Winter has returned snow is on it’s way everyone concerned ready for crippling delay, trains delayed some can’t run planes are grounded schools close, kids have fun Other countries are dumbfounded our islands not alike the rest any inclement weather it will close it’s called beast from the west just because cold wind blows, Scandinavia we need answers how can Britain carry on going to acquire your country’s standards until this chilly wind stops blowing.

We are counting our blessings here in Leicestershire as we got very little snow but the icy wind was unbearable, I feel so sorry for people that are even today still have no power and now flooding to look forward to. :(

I have been reading about the cold and snow in several parts of England, Roy. I would have thought that such weather would not have been a problem for England....would have been understandable had it been a heatwave:) Regards // paul

Thanks Paul, unfortunately we have had red warnings in parts which mean do not travel, hundreds of schools are closed, people stranded on main motorways over night, aircraft are grounded, trains are cancelled, power stations are at critical levels, we have forgotten how to cope with extreme weather, thanks again for your support much appreciated. :))

I think because we do not get it regularly, but it is more of an occurrence now, so surely the GVOT should be better prepared..

Totally agree, we can’t afford to allow so much disruption.

I am always shocked when we struggle in the UK.. Have been lucky where we are in the East midlands..

Thanks S O, hardly any snow here in Leicestershire but the wind is horrendous, what gets me is with satellite forecasting why can’t the authorities be prepared? thanks again for your support. :))

Oh, I am so glad not to be part of that!! We got a tiny blizzard ourselves here in Utah on several days ago. It was awful!! I am so thankful that typically our winter this year has been better than usual!!

Thanks Andrea, it just seems that as soon as we get some inclement weather our transport services come to a holt, where other countries such as the Scandinavian Countries have worse and they seem to cope, thanks for your comment on my rant, really appreciated. :))

Thanks Heidi, I don’t know how severe the weather is were you live but it seems like a few flakes of snow here and everything stops! Thanks again for your support much appreciated. :))
