The recent so-called “snowmageddon” that hit the East Coast of the USA grounded flights, and even led to an all-out travel ban in New York City as blizzards deposited 26 inches of snow on the city in a short space of time. While snow on this scale is rare and unlikely here in the UK, we are still subject to travel disruption and weather related hazards after even a small dusting of snow. That could all be about to change, thanks to a great combination of civil engineering and materials science.
