Q: "What is the right type of snow?"
A: "The weather is an interesting topic, but one that I cannot comment
on myself. I can, however, provide a link to how to find out if weather
will affect services."

I can answer that one. It's stuff that isn't really fine and powdery,
like the stuff you get in the Alps and almost never in England, where
the snow is wet and soggy. The right kind of snow doesn't require you
to remove two seats from every carriage in order to fit roof mounted air
intakes which don't pick up this fine powdery snow from the track.

Mind, if you're talking about the Eurostar failure - that was just bad
design.
