As Nigel and Clive have said, we haven't got a lot of snow, but it doesn't take a lot of snow to gridlock us here. Yes I am in Lincolnshire which is on the East Midlands coast and the weather pattern has unusually brought the winds in from the East. The farmlands around me are covered in about 4 inches of snow, not a lot, but it is dry powdery snow and the wind is driving it across the farms and causing snow to drift across the roads, especially in areas where the large farms are and hedgerows and woodlands have been removed for intensive farming. Many of the major roads are impassable, as soon as they clear the drifts they return within the hour. The constant strong and bitterly cold winds haven't eased for past 3 days, I put water out for the birds but within 30 minutes it has started to freeze over. In reality what we get is pretty insignificant compared to other countries but we have zero capacity to deal with it when we do get it.

[QUOTE="MxMartin, post: 365465, member: 9240"] As Nigel and Clive have said, we haven't got a lot of snow, but it doesn't take a lot of snow to gridlock us here. Yes I am in Lincolnshire which is on the East Midlands coast and the weather pattern has unusually brought the winds in from the East. The farmlands around me are covered in about 4 inches of snow, not a lot, but it is dry powdery snow and the wind is driving it across the farms and causing snow to drift across the roads, especially in areas where the large farms are and hedgerows and woodlands have been removed for intensive farming. Many of the major roads are impassable, as soon as they clear the drifts they return within the hour. The constant strong and bitterly cold winds haven't eased for past 3 days, I put water out for the birds but within 30 minutes it has started to freeze over. In reality what we get is pretty insignificant compared to other countries but we have zero capacity to deal with it when we do get it. [/QUOTE]
