Seasonal energy usage
It seems so far away now the snow the wind - yet it was only a few months ago. See here for a description of snow at Enigin in Cornwall.
Snow and rain might seem harsh, especially when in comes in excess. Look at the tsunamis and all the destruction they can bring about. Buildings falling down into mud slides and all sorts of mishaps can come about with too much of a good thing.
Suppose its where your at in the world if rain and snow is what you want. Now if you were in Africa experiencing a droght and lack of clean water rain and snow would be a much wanted blessing. No more having to find clean wells and water to drink water out of.
It just goes to show how much we can take for granted here in the Western hemisphere. However even here with no lack of water for the most part (and even floods in some areas) we have to save and spread out our resources.
Companies like Enigin can provide us with the knowledge, expertise and equipment to do this. Not only do Enigin do all this they do not let weather conditions stop them form their goal. Regardless of blizzards, snow and rain employees were able to get to the office not even letting abandoned vehicles get in their way.
Sometimes in times of extreme weather walking can be quicker than driving. Even in times of regular weather as many city dwellers can attest to its often easier to park the car and get public transport the rest of the way such as the train, tube, or even use a bycycle all of which help to reduce pollution in the enviornment so should be actively encouraged.
