Maybe the snow came by surprise.

There have been a lot of sudden snow lately. In the UK 50 people were stuck in a bar and I believe in Denmark people had to stay the night in IKEA.

There was rapid snowfall today, but certainly not a surprise. The local media has been warning about a snowstorm for about a week. Also, most of the snowfall happened during the night, so it was almost all there by the morning.

That snow wasn't unexpected, people went to the inn fully knowing there was a high chance of being stuck there, same happens at places like the Cat and Filddle, or Kirkstone Pass
