We used to get a fair bit of snow up here in Scotland, but during recent mild winters we've had very little so we've got out of the habit of driving in it.

Southern England, on the other hand, very rarely gets this kind of weather, and London's transport system is stretched to breaking point at the best of times. There are so many people living in the south east corner of England that I'm surprised it doesn't sink into the sea! Therefore any disruption at all and the whole place grinds to a halt.
