According to the national News in the UK, the country is at a stand still due to blizzard conditions and 'heavy' snow,
My area got a 'blizzard', with the forecast 'heavy' snow, which was around one inch deep !
Sun came out, snow went home - where's the problem ?
But then, a whole generation hasn't really experienced 'proper' snow here. I was brought up in the north east, where average winter snowfall was around 8 to 12 inches most years (quite a lot for the UK), and everything still worked, including the railways and the airports. Now, get half an inch and it's 'PANIC' !!!
