Snow storms usually knocks out Sky.. simple as that. Did mine last night as well.


No, it snowed for about another 2 hours. The falling snow didn't affect the signal, it was the snow which had accumulated on the dish which stopped it working.

I drive to York every day for work and on numerous occasions per year we have snow. Each and every time we have snow be it 3 inches or 18 inches etc we struggle as a country to deal with it. We know its going to come dont we. (in some form or other)

Same as the heat as i mentioned earlier leading to hose pipe bans etc. We know we are going to get some heat at some point, we just fail to cope with it then either.


Our 'inability to cope' is grossly overstated by the media in my opinion. There was a headline grabbing statistic last week which reckoned the UK had ground to a halt and that 1 in 5 people didn't go into work. Without context, that statistic can mean anything. 1 in 5 people may have used their common sense and worked from home instead.

Im basing it on using trains and driving when the weather hits. Im also basing it on stats that im privvy to seeing about workforce absence acorss the UK when bad weather hits. We dont cope well full stop. (we do cope better than the US when the superbowl hits though in relation to people calling off going to work)

I'm not saying that workforce absences don't rise sharply when bad weather hits, course they do. I was merely stating that the stat of 1 in 5 is misleading. In a sample of 20 people, 4 people who didn't make it to work may have been made up of 1 lazy @rse playing the weather card, 1 working from home, 1 genuinely snowed in, 1 looking after kids who's school had closed. 3 of those 4 are genuine reasons for non-attendance at work. That was all I was getting at.

I dealt with the point about normal snowfall in the second part of my reply. I agree that we should cope better, but in fact we are nowhere near as pathetic as the media would like you to believe.

We may have snow every year, but how many days per year does it cause a problem? One or two? How much extra cash is that worth?

The heat is different issue. The problems with water shortages are due to too many people and not enough rain (don't laugh). Compared to our population we have a shortage of rainfall, particularly on the east side of the country. Solutions for that problem are vastly expensive and long term.

Snow or severe ice would be over 2 or 3 weeks worth off the top of my head.

Too many people and not enough rain! :lol:

Really? Not down this way it isn't.

I kid you not.

You remember the commitment to build thousands of new homes in the South East? There's barely enough water to service the existing homes. They already pull water from the West and there isn't the capacity to supply more. They're talking about putting in a 'national grid' for water to try and cope going forward.
