Us Brits love talking about the weather but the seemingly endless cold snap is disrupting routines and reminds us of the need to arm against it with precautions like
car insurance.
Millions are unable to get to work while the travel system is in meltdown with planes, trains and automobile transport all badly affected.
The snow has become so heavy that the military and fire service have been called in to help police reach motorists caught in blockages on the A3 which run from London to Portsmouth.
Sarah Julian, a spokeswoman for Hampshire Police, said: "Between 600 and 1,000 vehicles were caught up in eight to 10-mile tailbacks with many owners remaining with their vehicles for several hours."
The authorities have been advising us to travel by road only if it's absolutely necessary.
And if it is, then you need to make sure you've got adequate car insurance cover in case of an accident due to the bad weather.
It's also important to remember to take down full details of any other vehicles involved in the accident and report it to the police if that's necessary.
Taking out car insurance from a leading online car insurance provider like swiftcover.com is a quick and easy way to preparing for the British winter seasons.
