It's like here. Obviously snow isn't a problem but they aren't used to strong winds - when we had gales here a couple of years back it caused all sorts of problems, not least the fact that all manner of trees, not having had to defend themselves from that battering, don't grow roots too deep and were toppling over everywhere. Caused absolute chaos on the beautiful tree-lined main roads and such. Sometime nature isn't really a help
