Living in a country the temperature of which is governed by the winds.
Friday morning - North wind, -32C (-25.6F) Look like a ninja
Saturday morning - Southerly wind, -5C (23F) No need to wear hat/scarf/gloves !
Sunday morning - North wind, -31C (-23.8F) Back to the ninja look...
Here is like where Mass Distraction lives. Snow storm ? LOL excuse me whilst nothing changes. All services still running, schools open, roads open, number of fucks given; -32.
It's all a question of infrastructure -- Countries where cold and snow is 100% guaranteed can justify preventative and reactive outlay (more salt for the sidewalks, more snow ploughs, year-long snow-tires for cars). It would be ridiculous to spend so much in the UK or other mild countries and therefore the best thing to do is just shut things down and hope the snow goes away.
Now excuse me as I put my scarf up to my nose and my fur hat down to my eyebrows. *sexy*
