If it's any comfort, the first big snowfall of the year creates chaos even in the biggest city in Norway. It's like we forget from year to year. The people budgeting the winter "snow-removing" have for some reason been led to believe that global warming will take winter problems away. Not in 100 years, but right now *sigh*. The snow in London and Paris has been all over the news, pictures of cars stuck and kids playing. I've been thinking of you guys, this must make your job a whole lot more difficult. At least we are prepared and have the necessary equipment (including tyres).
