Love it how the UK collapses when everyone else in Europe is like lol this is fine
Snow in the UK is significant less than 1% of the time, maybe as low as 0.5%. Europe, on the other hand regularly has a good amount of snow.
If it happens a lot then its worth investing in measures to deal with it: snow chains, winter tyres etc. If your (expensive) set of winter tyres are used so little, they'll out last the car, it makes better financial sense to not buy them and sit around whining on the few occasions you would use them. And if there's 1 thing we Brits have become good at, it's sitting around whining.
Crazy how the infrastructure isn't made for snow when it's very rare and unpredictable. Poland is known to have snow a lot but still have to warn others... snow is hard to deal with if you don't have it often, just ask Australia.
I doubt the majority of drivers even consider the use of winter tyres, which are mandatory across most of Europe... :)

Lol 😂 from uk 🇬🇧
We manage fine in Scotland where snow and low temps are more predictable.
It was -16 here last night in Aberdeen🥶
The UK has never been able to handle snow. I remember when I used to live there, the city would be on a standstill with the smallest amount of snow. I think it is time to consult the Canadians...
It's about infrastructure. Canada has a lot of snow and cold so it's worth investing in snow equipment, plowers etc. But if it snows for 2 hours every 3-4 years, it's simply not worth investing in the necessary infrastructure to cope with it... and then everything is slowed or stopped for a couple of days until everything returns to normal.
Why ask Canadians, they're pussies when it comes to cold weather.
They strut around boasting how - 40 centigrade is nothing, yet bring them to Scotland at - 10 and they all freeze. Pussies!
Smart move... :)
The media like to paint a much bleaker picture, to keep us alarmed. Carry on regardless.
Scotland on the other hand is equipped to deal with it. The more snow a country gets the better they can handle it
Who would of thought that winter comes every year, what a surprise 😮
England is unprepared for any weather at any time, due to poor governance. But I don't think the latter part is news to anyone. They are better off appointing a head of lettuce.
@@Thor.Jorgensen no it's only snow, because we don't have much snow. Places like London it snows maybe once a year. There is no point at all in buying hundreds of snow ploughs etc. That you're only going to use for one day
@@pingu255 So trains being canceled when the "slippery" leaves fall in autumn isn't a thing as I experienced?
And the same thing again when it's too hot out in summer?
And the same thing again if it rains and cars crash into one another?
No, face it, England has a problem. You don't get this in the Netherlands, Germany, France, Austria, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, or Czechia.
They get the same weather, but they at least know how to deal with it without having a traffic meltdown.
@@Thor.Jorgensen You mean all those lorries in Poland, were actually in England!?! You did watch the piece, right?
@@davidmurrell5143 Is Poland in the list of mentioned countries without problems?
Did I claim that Poland had any better road maintenance than England?
And where did I get "trains" from when there were no trains in the piece?
There is more to the world than just that piece, David. Or do you perhaps believe trains don't exist just because the video did not show any? Have you stepped outside?
You know things are bad for England when Brits brag "Well at least Poland has some of the same problems as us!"
Took my daughter over5 hrs ( instead I f the usual 2 hrs) to get from Norwich to London last night because of the the snow and and slow moving traffic and waiting on motorway it was coming down( snow) thick and fast! Everyone drive slowly and be safe. Amen 🙏🏻
this jesus guy really fucked us all up with all these snowstorms
Here in Sweden we cancel no flights. When winter arrives the pilots take the opportunity to put skis on their landing gear instead of wheels and land on the slopes instead. It's a bit rocky when the pilots do their slalom maneuvers as the passengers scream in terror, but they quickly assure them over the comms that it's all in good spirit in time for the holidays, and they calm right back down.
Happy holidays!

Yah, but there is no cheap Russian gas for heating..
It's nightmare actually.. cost of gas is through the roof...
Here in Algeria I relax on the beach every season.
Me in Australia: doesn't even get snow in our winter, and currently in the mid of our summer season
First time since December 2017 where it snowed deeply in the UK
I am too so like the over there
here in the italian Alps has snown quite a lot but the streets are all right. we are glad to fill back our water reserves for spring and summer. last summer was really torrid which I guess is our new normal

@@far_centrist We had open fire not gas.
Meanwhile in Finland: Expected to get 6 to 8 inches of snow this afternoon to southern parts and Finnair is expeting to see some delays. Airport will keep running and typical delays are 15-20 mins. Any longer is due to destination airports not accepting the flights. Trains, buses, cars, lorries etc. will run normally. Schools will remain open and people & students are expected to show up to work and school as usual. Delays not acceptable :D
Bear in mind that Finland is equipped to deal with vast amounts of snow. The UK isn't (it should be). So when a tiny flurry hits the island, all hell breaks loose and it's chaos mode.
@MSD Group Theres no energy crisis. Only media crisis lol. Europeans are doing just fine.

"It is time for Russia to modified weather across Europe" What on earth are you trying to say?? Your whole message is incomprehensible, and I gave up trying to understand it. Please learn English first, then comment.
@@kooshikoo6442 I thought I was the only one who did not get this idiot-!
In the UK prior to 60 years ago this sort of light snow was common half-a-dozen times every winter and barely interfered with life. Why has it now become such a serious problem?
It’s almost as if in 60 years there was another 14 million people and a 540% increase in vehicle ownership. Wow. Shocker.
Have you any evidence that snow didn't disrupt everyday life before the 1960s? Because I know of plenty of evidence showing that it most certainly did.
There's places in the world that used to be yearly flood prone areas (maybe for generations), but then climate change happened and then there weren't any floods for decades.
So, these areas were developed into residential/commercial areas. But when heavy monsoon rains come just like it did decades ago and flooded entire (new) towns, people are befuddled and label them as freak weather events.
Not everyone have long memories.
@@japple9501 yeah & 500% of them can't drive in snow but insist on trying.....
Because life is COMPLETELY different from how it was 60 years ago. Get a clue, you disingenuous poser. Not even gonna address yer "light snow" slop...
In England, someone drops a ice cube and they scream blizzard, it literally only takes 4 inches of snow for them to panic
or like texas and australia learned, when snow hits unprepared place that rarely have snow it causes problems.
Just like the Southern states in U.S. LOL.
4 inches? Hah. All it takes is 1cm and suddenly the whole country halts. It's like people don't know cars, planes and people can sustain temperatures way below freezing. Lots of people over in Finland even cycle when it's -20°. Then again, what should we expect when so many idiots refuse to switch to winter tyres
yep, but we have all decided, its cost to much to have snow plowes we use for 3 days once every 5 years, V shutting the country down for a day or 3 every 5 years.
They do get their nickers in a bundle. It's just is a a snow day off for people when it snows in England. Lets see what they do if the Thames freezes over like in the days of Dickens in the 1800's
Watching from Zambia Livingstone 🇿🇲
As normal the Uk will have 2 inch of snow and everything will grind to a standstill
Winter tyres should be mentioned in the highway code... :) but then again, how many would read it...
Not is Scotland though
I’m surprised the bbc didn’t blame brexit for the lovely winter snow ❄️
Every year it snows in Europe and every year 're media go into a frenzy about it
This time it's different. This time it's..... ...... //// climate change!!!!!
Here in Greece we still have quite good weather, we have rains of course, but the temperature is still ok, not too high!..

LOL... this country is so pathetic in coping with a slight snowstorm...
Except last year here in Switzerland, we didn't have much snow in December, but blizzards as far as in April.

We are in a third consecutive la nina. This hasn't happened in recorded history. The heat waves and cold waves, hurricanes, floods, fires are worse on average around the globe. In Australia where I am we're into the 8th week of flooding in some areas that have never flooded since records began (colonisation late 1700s)

It is nightmare to people who lived in tropical countries. My first experience of winter is horrible. It still gives me chill when I remembered it.
Ikr...I was frozen like statue when I first time see snow.
tropical weather is still hell on earth. I'd rather have perennial snowstorms than even 6 months of humid heat per year.
@@JSSQuelloAutentico that is true, it can be very difficult. Extreme weather is really harsh.
@@JSSQuelloAutentico That's more about what you are used to. Having moved from the UK to Australia nearly 40 years ago, I cannot abide cold weather any more. High temperature high humidity is hard I agree, I was recently in Cambodia where it was 40o with 90% humidity, that was a bit drippy. but high temperature dry heat is great. Where I live it can reach 50o in the summer. Probably sounds insane to you, but you don't feel it once you're used to it.
@@triarb5790 40° 90% humidity? Little drippy ? That sounds like HELL. The real feel was probably 60°
Winter weather during the winter period? Whoever heard of such a thing? Oh the humanity! Oh the terror! Oh the horror what are we all to do?!
shiver..?
Wow! Snow in winter! What a surprise!
Meanwhile in Finland: -20 and 4 inches of snow each day.
Nice free insulation for our rooftops! And biking still possible because bike paths get cleared twice a day.
Closing down travel over three inches of snow? That is so pathetic. Greetings from Norway ;)
For air travel I'm assuming it has more to do with icing than snow. Snow can be cleared. Snow is not a regular event in the UK as it is in other countries, and serious snow is even less common. All those preparations have a cost, and if it's commonly needed it's a waste. I think if Norwegian authorities spent billions on sandstorm preparations there would be questions asked. So it means the UK is less prepared. That doesn't mean unprepared. The UK actually copes fine with the usual amounts of snow. News channels, of whatever flavor, tend to report on the bad news and generally make it sound worse. You can include non-traditional channels, like youtube, in that too. News is generally entertainment rather than information you can use. If the news was "nothing bad happened today and everything is fine" not many would bother watching. Humans - we all rubber neck.
* I meant "if it's commonly NOT needed"
wooow amazing, heat waves during summer, cold temperatures and snow in December, truly apocalyptic.

@You Tube aur? but I miss my mom...we used to have loads of fun..
@sonds m what?
What I noticed is the first day of a storm a lot of people get hurt slipping on ice, and so on. In Freiburg Germany an emergency clinic was opened just to care for people who were injured. I ride my bike to work all year and I don't ride with spikes. It takes a day or two and the streets are clear, sidewalks are safe and it becomes a pleasure to ride a bike. I think riding in inclement weather toughened my spirit and made me more resistant to everday bullshit, or whatever. I figure I have been through seriously tough bike commutes, 18km one way. I commute now 2km one way and coworkers drive their cars 1km and don't understand why I ride instead of using my car.
For once after a very long time, we managed to get snow BEFORE Christmas, not near the end of Jan... And I am hoping it will snow some more here in London!
I work in a hotel at Gatwick, it was terrifying to see a tsunami of people flood into the hotel. Aprox 260 ppl in the span of 3 hours

It’s snowed twice this year in Illinois. Normally I’d be out snow plowing rn thru January but we been getting less & less snow each year.
Reason why you're not getting a lot snow lately for a long time is because of climate change where you are in America You're getting Forest fires Flooding Antenago's
There the ones are causing the climate change in the eye you're not getting no snow Or less Snow
Weather patterns change significantly with global warming so not only will we be getting hotter, the weather will be more extreme in weird and unusual places. We're either going to learn to adapt, or get off our ass and reach net 0

Massive train cancellations all morning in London because of a little snow. This country's turning into a joke at light-speed.

Like in Australia in summer when the 'TV' people fall apart when high temps around in summer. !!!!
It is normal for Australia to get 36-46 degrees any where in mainland Australia. In northern Australia you get temp's in the 30's plus mega humidity.

Snow forces you to take it all in and slow down.
No you gotta speed up because now you have the extra chore of snow removal to add to the list. Lol
Having activists setting fields on fire around London in a heatwave to create a talking point seems such a distant memory.

aaah gotta love the BBC "London is by far the busiet aviation hub in the world"
just..... not by flights, or seats, or passengers, or size.... or even on the top 20 list.... 2021 london(LHR) had 17 million... DUBAI 29 mill, atlanta 75 mill, Chengdu 40 mill..
To be fair, they didn't say London Heathrow. They were also including the other London airports. I'm not saying that would push it up to 75 million but statistics usually have a lot of caveats and complexities, so I doubt the numbers are directly comparable. As a thirty second mention on any news channel you are not going to get much of that complexity. They probably did what you probably did and spent five minutes on google.
