Most of Northern Europe is suffering under cold temperatures & heavy snow at the moment, even Germany but the media conveniently ignore this. Our news coverage is becoming like the USA, very insular.

Have to agree with the sentiments.
In defence of USA, Boston in particular, they know how to deal with far worser conditions than we would ever get.
When the snow hits there they do not just grit the roads, which we cannot even manage, they have the snow ploughs out, and life carries on as normal.
