We woke today to find almost four centimetres of snow covering everything in sight. This is our first proper snowfall since arriving in London. We missed last winter's snow cover that fell shortly after Christmas 2005 as we'd been holidaying in Austria.
The entire South and East of England was covered in snow today. Even Brighton beach received several centimetres. Not surprisingly, train delays were every where. I was greeted at the tube station with a simple announcement, "All London Underground lines are experiencing severe delays today." I was further bemused when my train pulled up to the platform, 30 metres below the ground, covered in snow.
The view from every window of Swiss Cottage was magic. Sadly it didn't last. By noon the the snow has disappeared and the city was back to normal. The Met Office is forecasting more snow tonight, possibly heavier than today. Areas in the Southeast are expecting up to 15 centimetres of cover. More snow is predicted for London early Friday morning. I hope so. It makes winter fun.
