Yes. We thought we’d bring it again as the Angry Russian’s message is as relevant now as it was then.

Haha… funny and great read! Personally I think the reason why few inches snow caused chaos to this country is because this is unusual for them – apparently the heaviest in 30 years. If this was in Russia then it would be just a piece of cake as it’s normal for the country and everybody is prepared for it. However, this country is not prepared to invest millions of money on something that only happens ONCE in 30 years. And it makes excellent news, as well as giving people excuses for not turning up at work!

Great post! I lived in Japan for a while and it snows properly there too. They don’t use salt to clear the roads there (I think it’s because they don’t want it to affect farmland and rice paddys). Instead on main roads they pump warm water through holes in the middle of the road to melt the snow – this water runs all day and night to keep the road clear. I was drenched several times while cycling to work by cars splashing past.
