Snow day!

It snowed last night and people in London are very excited about it.

Snow day!

See, proof! Someone did that at about 10pm last night, because Sunday at 10pm is the perfect time for snowball fight. Get it while you can!

This is what it looked like last night...
Snow day!

And this what it looked like this morning...

Snow day!

Yes, people with actual weather can start laughing now. And I lived in a country with proper winters, where people would walk to school in two foot of snow, but...

But it snowed even more in the night! Buses were cancelled! Trains and the tube stopped running! It was unanimously declared a snow day!

And the last time this happened, I was 11! So [livejournal.com profile] birdsflying and I went out into the park and made snow angels and took pictures.

Snow day!

And random strangers were happy and cheerful* and took pictures of
Snow day!





Snow day!

Snow day!


*Except for the two schoolboys who had exactly the same argument (but on different sides) for why they did/didn't want it to snow.

You're right - there is a drastic difference between last night and this morning - no fluffy slippers this morning ;p


If you don't mind me asking, where's the bridge and the locomotive?

Burgess Park. The bridge is over what was (before it was filled in) the Grand Surrey Canal. The train has no explanation as far as I can tell.

I wonder if it's where Robert (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2394/2269949576_622251c353_b.jpg) ended up.

Yay for snow! I went into work this morning but spent all afternoon building a snowman and then watching Pride & Prejudice on a friend's sofa.

So you were virtuous in the morning and then rewarded in the afternoon?
