Now the snow they have been having on the East coast of the US is proper snow, not like the dustings we have here.

Do the traditional weather patterns dictate that, if the USA gets heavy snow fall we get it a week or so later?

I wonder how many airport managers will be thinking its best to get the snow gear ready now, just in case. Or, will they be saying, we haven't got the budget for that so, we'll deal with it when it happens.

I know which one I'd go for.

The Mayor of NY mobilised 2500 snow shifters thats people with shovels. Perhaps we should do that with all the ASBO and TAG users and people on Comunity Service Programmes when the snow returns.

NYC had ten times more snow than we did yet still got JFK up and running last night. Heathrow take note.

Imagine if we had that amount of snow the country would have ground to a complete halt- for weeks.

Looks like Newark is now open also ;D

Happy Holidays
