Snow Hits Britain
February 2, 2009
Britain has come to a virtual standstill after heavy snow fall. Bus, train and flight services have been cancelled or delayed, with many travelers becoming stranded.
The majority of the UK is blanketed in snow, with the heaviest fall in many years. The Met Offices has issued a severe weather warning for the South and South East, with driving conditions said to be treacherous.
Of all London airports only one runway at Gatwick is still open resulting in long delays.
The Transport for London website said:
“All London buses have been withdrawn from service due to adverse weather and dangerous road conditions.”
The AA has advised people to keep warm clothes in the car adding:
People often treat their car as an overcoat. But when you break down you are suddenly vulnerable to the weather. If you break down on a motorway, the safety advice is to get out of the car and wait behind the barrier. Unless you have extra clothes you really are flirting with hypothermia.”
Everyone must be very careful when travelling anywhere in the snowy weather. I for one am hoping to be sent home from work as the weather will get so bad. I just hope I get snowed in at home and not work. I think getting snowed in at home is just what everyone needs!
It is funny that some countries deal with treacherous weather conditions all the time. When England gets hit the whole country comes to a standstill. I think we English in particular are real drama queens!
