I still remember their first phone call “Every thing is closed what is wrong with people is just Snow”
Bonus for our son, he would pick up all the employees in his Jeep, drive to their restaurant, only place open. Made a killing because it snowed an inch, making everyone happy there was hot food.

Ye Gods! If England had an inch of snow, the country would grind to a total halt.
Half an inch is enough to close schools, non-essential services and all public transport.
Successive generations have no idea how to live with, or handle the stuff.
Not so bad in Scotland as they still get plenty of the white stuff.
