Denmark has also had an extreme winter event. In the city I live, there was a snow storm on the third January. It was a lot of snow and very windy. The roads are still not cleared nearly a week later, so buses are still cancelled in the morning and delayed after that. Schools and daycare were closed for the week.
The Borough council needed to make a lot of cuts to services and snow clearance was one of the ones they picked.
It's funny, I came here 15 years ago and we've had very snowy winters every year or two but if you ask the average Dane they think it's less because they're also counting the winters of their whole lives here. There must be a psychology paper in the effect.
So the people in charge thought it would be ok to make cuts because "it never snows that much here"
Denmark talks a good game about climate change preparedness but I don't fancy their chances tbh
