Now we have all heard about how bad the UK is doing regarding the weather etc. Rail/Road/Airports
BUT just a thought
The Weather boffins are predicting this may end up being the coldest Winter for over 100 Years, now we all feel that planning could be better etc.
BUT
As say in the North West Trains are on Average 20 years+ old (with not a hope in hell of getting new stock)
There is NEVER enough salt (for what the councils need costs can be extremely high) for roads to keep clear
And the snow is crippling the Airports Heathrow Gatwick have all been shut for periods of time
What would you do to keep things flowing
and remember there isn't an unlimited pot of funds (plenty of pot holes though) lol
Ideas?

We thought we were poor at dealing with this weather, seems the rest of Europe are running out of ideas too lol
