Reply #32: the "why" question

[madbelgiancow]

is one with a hundred answers in Belgium. We specialise in doing things "our way", and logic doesn't always have much to do with it.

I know the people mover you speak off- I always have the furthest gate when I am running late :-)

yeah the Sabena story is a sad one. You have had some sad ones in the US as well.

We seem to get almost no snow in recent years, usually we will get a couple of layers of maybe one or two inch per winter season, except in the east with the 600 m "mountains" where they will have 5-10 inches more frequently.

Last year we got one snowy day or something, and the country came to a standstill. Go figure. I slides into a ditch woth driving back home as the highways were blocked, got kinda reckless in a tight curve *oops*

Weather in Belgium is tempered by the sea, we don't have extremes.
