Evidently, they have our snow.

England in grip of severe weather

Edit: From http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/ukweather/warnings.shtml: "Thursday 8 February WEATHER WARNING East Anglia, Lincs, the Midlands, central and north Wales will continue to experience heavy snow. 5cm of lying snow is widely expected, and possibly as much as 15cm. Travelling conditions will continue to be dangerous. Valid until 1500GMT"

Yes, I am somewhat bemused that 5cm (2 in.) of snow is a big deal, but it is England. I've seen what an inch of snow does to London.

How well does Scotland cope with snow?

I'm guessing folks are laughing in Edinburgh, too--particularly since the snow almost entirely missed Scotland--but maybe it depends on how well they usually deal.

Edinburgh got surprisingly little snow when I was there. But apparently if you go about 10 miles north, and head into the highlands, snow fall increases dramatically. And yes, they are just used to it.
