The Intensity Alphabet Game

[Scrapheap]

U must be tired of shoveling snow!!!

[ozymandias]

Very, but, thats life in the Northeast!  All in all, I'd rather be here than in western NY STATE where areas got up 12 feet plus within a short time! (lake effect snow)

[Callaway]

What amazed me was how quickly they dealt with the huge amount of lake effect snow in Western NY.   

[Leto729]

X-feet in snow.

[Callaway]

You get a lot of snow where you live, Kevv?

Zounds!!! I know about lake effect snow!!! 

[duncvis]

All it takes here is an inch or two at rush hour and the city and surrounding areas are gridlocked. 

[ozymandias]

Be glad you don't have storms that dump 1-2 feet of snow like in Maine.  Or storms that dump 3-6 feet in upstate NY.

[Litigious]

Can have such storms in Sweden sometimes. 

[duncvis]

Don't suppose it would make much difference, since the roads dept are fucking useless anyway.

[Scrapheap]

Excelent!!! So you're saying you have CalTrans workers in England?? ?? ??

[duncvis]

No, we have a pitiful excuse for public services. Everything was contracted out for private tender under the Tories, so all we've ended up with is a lack of central planning, shoddy 'council' services and higher local taxes. The joy of market economics eh?

[ozymandias]

Essentially a system where nobody is accountable!

[duncvis]

FUBAR, to a huge degree. The worst is the education service, our privatised schools board is one of the worst performing in the whole country.

[Callaway]

Goodness, the school situation sounds absolutely horrible.
