We don't get this weather often Arthur so its not financially viable for us to prepare every year as other regular snow and ice affected countries do.
Edit
I was bored in the house today, so rather than moan about how cold it was and sit here with the heating on full blast. I popped around to the old peoples home and cleared some of the pathways off.
It got me out the house, warmed me up, the exercise was good for me and it gave me a warm fuzzy feeling inside. The tea and toast supplied was nice
