Apocalypse

London is inches-deep in snow, the once-in-a-decade kind, and the hospital is running quarter-staffed because hardly anyone's been able to get in.

(And it's still snowing...)

dead at you thinking chains are required for driving through snow. sadly, we still drive regular cars even when there's 876578678 feet of it.

crying how is this anything like that. driving in 1st or 2nd gear helps. do you europeans not own a single plow.

Ahahah, plows in London. Did you not get the once in a decade part?

... I think they're finally gritting the side roads now?

i feel like you can make one. most snowplowers here are just regular people that attach giant plates onto the front of their trucks.

i don't know what gritting is.

:| You know how almost no-one in London drives a big-ass truck? Yeah.

Where they put salt and grit on the roads to melt the ice and give you some traction.

i feel like even if you are a country where snow doesn't happen a lot, it still happens!!!, so you should at least have some sort of back-up plan. :| besides gritting.

which, by the way, i hope you guys at least believe in wiper fluid.

:| Back-up plan? What is this nonsense?

Yes, yes we do. Or at least I do. Also, my car is snowed-in so I guess it's a good thing I live on-site.

8D i first saw a \o/ whoo snow~ entry and then i saw this. i guess everyone's got a different perspective.

it really sucks, though. :/ i hope they get a snow plow to take care of it or something.
