London Snow Is Falling Down...

Hooray for lame titles: But I couldn't resist.

We had some snow here yesterday, it appears to have made worldwide news coverage...I guess it's been 20 years since they got snow like this. It was probably about 5 inches in London, and it totally shut down the city. I got stranded on Sunday night and had to walk about 30 minutes as the buses were not running regularly and for some reason the tube closed. Really, I understand the streets having issues, and closing down, but the tube is underground, (where there is no snow) so I didn't understand why that was a problem.

Anyway, I got a snow day on Monday! Haven't had one of those since highschool.

Here are some pictures, it was quite pleasant for a day, but this city doesn't believe in snow plows or snow shovels, so everything is a slushy, gray mess today.
