Saw this on the news, how you were all snowed in. It said something

Yes Jan, snow is not as common as it used to be, at least here in the south.
Scotland tends to have more, The huge investment required for the equipment
to deal with this sort of snow fall just isn't worth it. It's about 25 years
since we had snow this deep.
