My friend David took a Greyhound bus from where he lives in
Virginia to New York City a couple of days ago. The journey was
via Washington DC, where three feet of snow had just fallen. It
should have been a 6-and-a-half hour journey.

If it had been in England, even two inches of snow would have
made the roads impassable. There would have been news reports
about how thousands of people were stuck for 48 hours in snow
drifts – and if the buses had run at all, the chances are that
many of them would have broken down or turned over on the ice.

So David was expecting a very long journey.

In the end, he arrived in New York City just one hour later than
scheduled.

We English are said to be obsessed with the weather, but while we
are obsessing, everyone else just deals with it.
