Blizzards hit mobo shipments – report
Ice, ice baby

HEAVY SNOW in the People’s Republic of China is causing drifts preventing motherboard makers from making as many printed circuit boards as they would wish.
According to Digitimes, the heavy snowfall in Changshu and Kunshan have caused some manufacturers to be running at only 30-40 per cent capacity.
The snow is causing the authorities to ration power and while some have their own generators, this problem is compounded by workers being unable to battle through the blizzards.
Just as well the Taiwanese manufacturers don’t have plants here in Blighty. A snowflake falling in England is enough to cause instant transport chaos here. µ

We laugh at people who freak out at a few inches of snow and we sure need the jobs.
The same thing happens if there's snow in Denmark.

We get warnings days in advance and still traphic chaos all over the place because of a few inches of snow. OMG
