What would our streets look like if it never stopped snowing?

If there’s one thing we're not good at here in the UK, it's snow.

As soon as the first flake hits the ground, pedestrians start slipping on paths, cars start sliding down roads, and everybody rushes to the shops to stock up on essential supplies.
