Majority are drawbacks or limitations, however this is not always the case as you shall learn as you read through the different implications highlighted below. Feel free to add your own as well.
1) Self employed individuals won't be able to earn which would make it difficult for them to meet their basic living requirements.
2) Exam results are affected directly as students don't go into school due to safety measures. This will affect the economic performance or capabilities in the foreseeable future. This is a long term consequence which could happen.

4) The tourism industry suffers as does the airline industry as people can't get out and about. This means that they will be losing out on substantial sums of money potentially.

7) Costs local councils plenty in order to grit roads in order to ensure safety when driving for local inhabitants.
8) Is good for certain food industries, especially those which would be selling/serving hot food as demand will inevitably increase as people will be keen to be keep warm, fit and healthy. However, getting there to buy it might be an issue.
9) Hotels benefit as people whom are unable to travel will need to find a place of comfort to stay for the time being. Hotel is an attractive short team option they might take into consideration. This will or could increase their sales.
10) Your own suggestions to expand on the problematic weather related matter, but thoroughly enjoyable one nevertheless.
