Is the economy that bad over there that it can't deal with a few days/weeks of snow?
And I figured Britain has had snow storms before...

Yes we have, but snow is so infrequent and usually only last a week so we never really prepare for it. I was quite exasperated on Friday the two 'major' stories on the BBC News website were the Algerian hostage crisis and the country wide snowstorms. Out of the two, the one that got the minute-by-minute live coverage was the snowstorms. 

:/

Wow. I don't know if it was said in the OP but, how long do you guys expect to have this blanket of snow?
