These aren't really fair reactions to us Brits for the following reasons: 1) Most people in Britain are just getting on with it 2) We're the land of the ever changing weather, we're pretty good with having sun/rain/wind/hail/thunder/snow etc on the same day 3) Some people have died due this weather or been trapped on the motorway for 20 odd hours so obviously it's more than just a bit of snow 4) We only really get this level of snow for a few days every 6 or 7 years, so therefore there is no need for us to invest in the infrastructure needed to clear it all as they do in Canada/Scandinavia/Russia etc. We'd rather just be inconvenienced for a little while every few years.

Actually, I've lived in Britain and did not see any of this panicking stuff... just regular folk dressing up for cold weather... but i DID SEE PANICK in DC for a number of years when an inch of snow fell, like, everthing was closed, even schools!!!

In the area of the UK where I live, this is the first time we've had snow that's actually settled in nearly 5 years. Yes it's hilarious that we aren't as prepared as countries who have snow for long periods every single year.

to be fair, 10 people have died, yeah some are reacting a bit over the top, but could be a bit more sensitive.

British news outlets and journalists : no talent actual British public : no f***s given. See the difference???

We (The British) will laugh at ourselves about the comments above but when it's the other way round everyone has to have apology as we then being superior.

Ok, as a Brit, can I just quickly point out that a) Norway, Finland and Sweden are countries who have this every year, and have government spending for this stuff, whereas Britain gets this once every half decade, and it would cost way more to be permanently prepared for this than to just have five days of chaos, b) most people are really just getting on with things, it's just travel that's been affected and c) there are people who have been trapped unable to see out of their cars for two days might somewhat disagree

The main problem of Britain and snow is nobody cleans the roads because they have no ploughs and the cars have no winter tyres. Put those two together and it's a nightmare. I've grown up in a country where we had 30-40 cm of snow easy and we never had issues because our transportation was prepared.

I'm Canadian so no worries

I can't believe I'm going to actually admit this but in the United States, the South acts this way as well. Atlanta, GA interstate was shut down and people stranded for over 24 hours for. 5 inches of snow/ice mix.

Chicagoans understand Every year when the first snow hits, no matter how little, everyone forgets how to drive in snow. Fortunately, by the second snow they’ve got it but meanwhile we’re a bunch of driving dummies.🤭😁😂

You have us in Ohio 60 degree weather shorts and short sleeves no coat next day is 25 degrees and all we're wearing is a sweatshirt and some of us jeans, others still short lol and it's snowing

Sadly the north of Britain where we tend to just get on with it gets lumped in with the south panicking over a bit of snow. That said theres less snow and snows less regularly than it uses to and unfortunately local and national government are idiots.
