Snow Day!!!!!

My tube stop

My snow-covered street

So, there's currently six inches of snow on the ground in London. For those of you who don't know, it NEVER snows in London. According to CNN and the BBC, this is the biggest snowfall in 18 years! All classes are cancelled and after two hours of work at my internship, I was told to go home because it was supposed to snow more and they didn't want us interns to be stuck in Central London. It's amazing how six inches of snow (I might add it's the perfect snow for snowball fights and making snowmen) can completely disrupt a city. All the buses are closed. Heathrow Airport closed both runways for an extended period of time, and now only one runway is open. The London Underground is slower than usual with more limited service. But, I can attest it's still working and not that much slower than normal. So, I'm going to go out and enjoy my unexpected snow day!

Attached are some articles about the snowfall in London. Cheers!
