i'm just outside glasgow (opposite end to EK)... its not too bad... prob 4/5ish here, main roads are ok...
EK however gets snow very bad due to it being high up. 10 inches sounds a bit of an exageration tho...
this is from earlier today when the snow had only just came on..

As a guy on the radio said yesterday, its not so much that we are any different, its that down here the population density is so large that the amount of cars on the road in comparison is rediculous.
When you then take into consideration some people will be being overly cautious others get wound up and cause accidents.
Because of the accidents, abandoned cars, people stuck etc all the roads in a town can get snarled up very very quickly. I've been out driving in it every day and to be honest the only times i have had problem is where others have had accidents and traffic has built up.
