Snow In London

Snow is NOT romantic. I hate snow. I especially hate snow/sleet in my eyes. So I've been damn loser- carrying a brolly each time the snow flakes fly. It doesn't really help though. The wind blows in all directions and my coat still gets a little wet. But at least the brolly keeps the icy bits out of my eyes.

In the morning, the cars parked on the streets indicate how heavy the snowfall in the night has been. Sleet, really. I can't complain. There's only like 1mm of snow (slush) in the city. East and North London have been hit quite badly by the snow. They get up to 20 cm of snow. Schools, offices, Luton and Gatwick have been closed. It's definitely not winter wonderland there. With cars not exactly having snow tires, plenty of accidents have occurred on the road.

Kudos to the road workers who work so hard to keep the tube, rail and main roads in operation. Come dead winter, I hope London won't be crippled like it was in February 2009.

The city central isn't too bad. (Not when compared to friends in other countries who're getting 30.5cm to 50cm of snowfall overnight.) The tube and rail services might be disrupted if there's heavy snowfall. Hopefully it doesn't come down to that this December.
