UK braced for new arctic blast

Summery

Earlier this month snowstorms caused many problems in Scotland and eastern England. The area’s are not even fully recovered from this jet and know there is even more snow coming their way. They expect new snowstorms, cold and very strong winds and temperatures around minus 10C.  People must be very careful because of the possibility of icy roads. It is also possible that airports and trains will be disrupted again because of the weather, just like earlier this month. The far south might be lucky to escape from the snowstorms and cold weather.

Reaction

It is apperently not only a problem in the Netherlands to keep the trains running during freezing temperatures. As soon as it starts snowing and the temperatures drop below zero the trains are disrupted. It is funny that it happens every year. The icy roads also sound familiar, but luckily we did not have the problem of completely blocked roads, like in Scotland, were they could not get the roads ice free immediately. Lets hope we can manage that all winter and that we will not get problems like last year or like they are having in some parts of Scotland now.
