Snow and the 3rd world...

Recommended Posts

I'm always surprised how my country can turn rapidly to 3rd world (or worse) as soon as we have a couple of inches of the white stuff...

I had always been taught that we (Switzerland) are a snow-country :S must have been wrong information....

not yet, as they can't seem to be able to go from their house to the garden shed where the shovel is stored...

no winter tyres for most, so you see pretty cool acrobatics... until some pedestrian gets killed

Fuck, if you really want to see a 3rd world reaction to a wee bit of snow, then you only have to look our side of the Channel.

Swissville is positively brilliant in comparison.

BUT, I hope that I can get to my B&B on the 17th!!

Still better compared to your German neighbors:

Our trains won't run in summer (A/C's over heating) and neither in winter (frozen railway switches) :S



The old proverbial snow job, eh?
My reality and yours are quite different.

Funniest thing I've seen was when I was in Ft Worth, TX.
Their winter consisted of 2-3 snow/ice storms per winter.
You would watch these fools spinning their tires trying to get moving.
But then they would insist on driving at the same speed as when it was dry, oblivious to the fact they were going to have just as much trouble stopping at the next intersection.:S
Even though I had a 4wd with 4 snow tires, I would avoid driving during these times, just because I didn't want to give the fools a target.[:/]
