In places like Kansas or Texas, if the people there saw what our orange weather warnings were, they’d certainly have a chuckle.
@Peter Cavey: a lot of them also laugh when somebody mentions climate change. C’est la vie.
@Peter Cavey: The one thing that used to strike me when I lived upstate NY was how well they were able to manage difficult weather conditions. Roads were ALWAYS kept clear no matter how much snow fell. You would see the trucks sitting on the exits to the highways ready to go. They monitored the weather on screens in their trucks and when they knew snow was coming, they all hit the road and started spreading salt and using snow plough’s.
@David Corrigan: yes because they had it every year without fail and could justify the huge outlay. We could have services like that laid on year after year and no snow.
