... I guess it doesn't take much snowfall to cripple commerce in Britain. They wouldn't fare too well here in Vermont! Judging by the accompanying photos, that much snow hereabouts is called Just Another Minor Annoyance to Slow the Commute a Bit. I don't mean to diminish their plight, but don't they sell snow tires there? Tyres with a "Y", of course.
But then, even we Vermonters are in awe of what those in northern Japan deal with as a matter of course. They get roadside snowbanks several buses tall! No joke! Sukayu Onsen gets an average snowfall of 58 feet per season!

It's all a matter of perspective, I guess.
