In London, travel has many interruptions.

"This situation requires a real change in the economy . " Transport infrastructure in the UK recently ''.

Railroad operator Rail Rail recommends that passengers ensure travel services before going to work. "We cannot be sure there will be no traffic disruptions. We can never overcome the tremendous impacts of weather and low temperatures."

Highways Agency has mobilized more than 400 salt spraying cars to fight against the snow, and advised people to restrict travel unless required. Westminster City Council has stocked 1,500 tons of salt and more than 50 salt spreaders.

One thing that has never happened in the precedent is that the number of visitors to the Met Office website becomes overwhelming when people need to update weather information.
