So, ok. The worst snow fall for 18 years is still going on at the moment. Because of this:
– all public transport – buses and the tube – in London have been cancelled or have ground to a halt
– all train services in the south east are either delayed or cancelled
– Stansted, Luton, Gatwick, Heathrow, Birmingham, Manchester and London City airport are closed or so delayed as to be irrelevant
– the M25 became a giant parking lot around London
– Thousands of schools are closed. So are most public offices. Those that are open are mostly staffed by people who can walk into work.
From the BBC website: Up to 10cm (4in) of snow has already fallen in some parts of Greater London, with 6cm (2in) of snow reported at Heathrow Airport. The conditions led the Met Office to issue an extreme weather warning for London and the south east of England.
4 inches? This is what we call a flurry, people, nothing more.
