Accept that these things happen from time to time and adapt to cope with them.

We've had Snow a few times in Winter over the last two or three years. Not frequent, but not rare either. Besides, hasn't yesterday's shutdown been estimated to have cost the Economy about £3 billion? That's more than enough to pay for a few snow ploughs..
