Abstract
Disruption to the economy is caused by snowfall according to its physical nature and the state of preparedness of the community. The blizzards in N.E. Scotland in 1978 resulted in significant disruption and high costs. A major deployment of helicopters was a feature of the measures taken to deal with the situation, but preparations to meet such conditions on the frequency with which they may be expected appear to be inadequate.
