There was more mockery than snow for this plough to get through

As usual, the UK has been pretty unprepared for the snow that happens just about every year, with travel, work and schooling all falling foul of the wintry weather.

At King’s Cross, however, they’re taking no chances – and this clip shared by u/Peatoire shows how.

Although the plough was reportedly doing the important job of trying to remove or score black ice, we admit it looked very much like an overreaction – and Reddit users couldn’t resist a flurry of mockery.

Pray for London 🙏

u/YoukanDewitt brought the inevitable pun.

Look, everyone is just scraping by right now, no need to be judgemental.
