Would still cost the country millions more though to provide the equipment to move most of the snow, and would sit rusting for years 'till the next fall; particuarly as has been 18 years in London !!
As mentioned before, people travel further to work and school these days, and not always within walking distance and are more aware of the dangers on the roads during such adverse weather conditions so take advice and stay at home.
I seriously don't think most people look at it as an excuse to stay off work, even though we joke about it. Not everyone is salaried.
