Every year, Britain experiences snowfall, and when it does, the country often grinds to a halt. The infrastructure is not designed to cope with snow, public transport is severely disrupted, schools are closed, and many people are unable to get to work. In addition to the practical problems caused by snow, it can also be dangerous. People can slip and fall on icy pavements, and there have been cases of people dying from hypothermia after being caught in the cold. Despite the disruption and danger that snow can cause, it can also be a beautiful sight. When the snow settles, it can transform the landscape into a winter wonderland.
