It snowed in London yesterday and temperatures are still below freezing today. It's been a record cold, apparently, with most of the UK getting unexpectant snowfall, and Scotland and bits of the southeast suffering the worst

Dear UK,

PLEASE get a grip. You have had snow for CENTURIES. The snow does not change. You should have a ROUTINE down for dealing with this. You're looking mighty ineffective.

You're looking FRENCH. So pull yourself together.

No love,

Jess, an American who is used to SNOW.

England reminds me of Seattle, Washington. OH MY GOD. SNOW?! WHAT DO WE DO?! AAAAAAAAAH! But Seattle still managed to work, minus a day or two.

Virginia...seems to be able to deal with snow. We all pray for snow days but the county works against us and the roads get cleared. I guess it's because we're so close to D.C. and D.C. MUST be up and running come hell or high water.

I know right! they must've snowed in the past couple of centuries before and yet they still haven't learned. they just can't cope. :x

I bet Seattle is a lot like Vancouver, in that they're mild West Coast climates. Vancouver's gotten snow this year and the last and they're like D: WHAT'S GOING ON!

I'm kind of mad about this because I can't really go to work this week and I NEED the money.

Heaven forbid it snow in London! *gasp*

It totally is. It was so frustrating to someone like me, who comes from a state used to blizzards, with a school county that won't cancel unless it is absolutely necessary. Our airports are open. Seattle's generator went out. -_-;

Boo indeed. DX I want you to get money!

Yeah, seriously, I'm sure it has snowed like this in the last 100 years, and people survived just fine.

My district school board never gave us snow days either. :( A "snow day" was like this mythical thing that you heard of, but probably never existed. Until I realised that other cities gave them out willy-nilly, ha.

Well, good news is, I've been booked for a full week next week at one school I supply at regularly. Hopefully it goes well!

Well, we got snow days, but not left and right. Only if it was unsafe for people to be on the road. Maryland would ALWAYS close right away. But not my county...we would watch on tv and see EVERYONE around us close school while we had to go in. So frustrating.

Hurray for a full week of work! =D
