To be fair I live right on the coast, so any snow just seems to turn to sleet or never settles. I think our last 'major' snow fall was 3 years a go as well.

There are several Western versions of this story, of which the best-known concerns a chicken that believes the sky is falling when an acorn falls on its head. The chick decides to tell the King and on its journey meets other animals (mostly other fowl) which join it in the quest. After this point, there are many endings. In the most familiar, a fox invites them to its lair and there eats them all. Alternatively, the last one, usually Cocky Lockey, survives long enough to warn the chick, who escapes. In others all are rescued and finally speak to the King. In most retellings, the animals have rhyming names, commonly Chicken Licken, Chicken Little, Henny Penny or Lewisy Louis.

12" isn't significant snow, it is a light dusting. Can't see what the problem with it is. Oh yeah you Brits are to important to be prepared for winter aren't you? and you never get enough snow to worry about it until it happens every winter for the last 3 of 4 years.

Quite possibly but also everyone mucks in aswell, clearing the pavement in front of your house results in clear pavements everywhere, snow ploughs clear the roads and everyone has the correct tyres on their cars. This stuff is not rocket science and it doesn't take long to sweep or shovel the snow from infront of your house and drop a bit of salt.
