Alerts! Alerts! It is snowing... Panic! Delays in all public transport, some schools are closed and most people will (on purpose) arrive late to work. Exactly like in London. But in some kind of way I could accept it a little bit more in the UK... it is not a place where it snows and if it does once a year or so it is cheaper for them to just shut everything for that day instead of wasting money on dealing with the snow.
In Italy, and especially in north Italy where we have some of the world's greatest Alps they just can't justify that the city doesn't go on as normal for just few snow flakes. People go to the mountains almost every weekend without problems but when the snows arrives outside their city homes they can't get out of bed? The trains that passes snowy areas on a daily bases has to stop when the snow comes to the centre?
Italians loves blame the weather for staying home. It can be too warm, too cold, too foggy, too rainy and too snowy and they happily don't go out.
I had to change the train 3 times to get into work this morning and I arrived 40 minutes late. Not happy.
