But while drivers have been cursing the blizzards which have blanketed the streets, others have been making the most of the whiteout conditions.

Glasgow man Niall Houston dug out his snowboard to test the powder around Victoria Park on the city's Southside.
And going off-piste on the city's streets was 'snow bother for the accomplished winter sportsman, who even managed a few tricks on his glide down the road.
Mr Houston, who usually takes to the slopes of Glencoe and the Nevis Range, has been unable to indugle in his sport due to travel restrictions.
The 36, year-old, a former instructor at Bellahouston Ski Centre, said he couldn;t pass up the opportunity to get out and enjoy the snow.

He said: "I managed one great day at Nevis Range last March just before lock down so I've been pretty keen to get out especially as I've been seeing all the updates from those who live locally to the mountains who have been able to get out recently in all the snow.
"The snow was good and I managed to get round all the hilly streets near Victoria park. Not the steepest so I headed out to Gardener Street this morning for something a bit faster and longer.
"It doesn't compare to the real thing in the mountains but it's a fairly unique memory I didn't want to miss out on."
