When I heard that it was the biggest snowfall in London in the last 18 or so years, I was expecting some huge amount, but apparently it was only 8 inches. It is a bit puzzling how 8inches of snow can cripple a city, but for an area that doesn't have 1.) A large snow-plow fleet, or 2.) Anywhere to plow said snow, you can see why this is a bigger deal for them than 8" would be for me here in Wisconsin.

England hasn't suffered many snow falls in the last 18 years, if anything, due to global warming they're getting less, but living 6000 miles and knowing fuck all about football and England, why bother? As for your perception that Scottish football continues unabated, you really don't have a clue do you. Is that why last nights Motherwell game was postponed 5 times? The matches weren't cancelled because of the weather you moron, it was the fans safety at getting them to travel to the matches that caused the postponments.
Are you just pretending to be shit at everything?

The internet is littered with humorous takes on football, considerable better written and funnier than your attempts. Please don't try and defend your article as tongue in cheek. I'm sick of reading humorous takes on football, it allows people like yourself whose knowledge of the game is threadbear to pretend to have a valid opinion. Cliche ridden and full of holes, incorrect information wise and not funny. I hope you don't get paid for this shit. Global Warming has seen snowfall in the UK fall considerable from every year up to the 1980's to 4 major ones in 1991, 1995, 2000 and 2008. See the pattern there, they're get less and less common and people become more unused to dealing with the conditions. Anyone under 30 in the UK has seen 4 snow falls in the last 20 years. Your lack of enviromental knowledge seems to think snowfall becomes more likely due to precipitation. As any fool knows it takes more than rain alone to cause snow and that's the issue here, it doesn't happen as often as it used to in the UK. The British response is akin to it happening in Spain and Portugal, the country grinds to a halt becuase they don't know what to do anymore. We were used to it 30 years ago, now thanks to Global Warming it has become freak weather and causes the safety concerns that caused the games to be cancelled. Do you want people to die trying to get to a football match? So you've written a pointless, unfunny and factual incorrect article. Is that what tongue in cheek means in Canada?

Every so often someone here will announce that America must play in the Winter months or not be a "true" football nation. Well in many parts of the US including my home town Chicago, the once in a 20 year snowfall and cold of England is an average winter event. repeated several times every winter. We have had only a handful of days above freezing since New Years and have several inches of snow frozen on the ground most of the year also.
So to all my friends across the pond have fun with the snow it's a rarity for you and now you know why MLS starts at the end of March!
