The past eleven months, the Unites States has experienced warmer than average temperatures. In some countries, such as Scotland and parts of England, that doesn’t seem to be the case. The United Kingdom as of lately has been receiving much more snowfall then they are used to this time of year and because many aren’t used to the large amounts of snow, preparations seem as if they have not gone too well. According to the video on BBC, Scotland, a part of the UK that is located more north, is having issues with online orders. With Christmas only about one week away, the Scottish could face a dilemma if their online orders cannot be shipped to their homes by the holiday. Not only are online businesses feeling the negative effects of the snow, but local businesses are as well. The local businesses only want to sell what they can promise they’ll be able to deliver, so with the snow, sales are falling short as delivery trucks may not be able to travel on the icy roads. Parts of northern England are also experiencing the same consequences of the snow, and I would assume that if the snowfall continues, more of the UK could become affected.
