Adverse weather conditions in Britain
In London it has snowed more in the last 48
hours than it has done for many years. It’s even dropped below zero for
a day or two as well! The sad reality is that the first dusting of snow is
usually enough to spark
a small-scale national emergency. Add a few extra inches and the whole country grinds to a halt!
Across the country, countless other things occur due to adverse weather conditions.
Flights are grounded, and roads are closed; trains are delayed or cancelled, and
(maybe, if you’re lucky!) they lay on an emergency bus service to try and get you home. Cars are stuck in the snow and
drivers are stranded
overnight in their vehicles.
