Snow in London
Dec. 21st, 2010 06:39 pmI wrote this yesterday, and have only now had the chance to post it. Don't be confused...
I don't find weather boring: it's happening all the time, it's constantly changing, a succession of details, always something new to say. Travel likewise, come to that. But anticipating weather (and its effect on travel): will it snow? will the trains be running? will we get there / home? Always the same questions, and always the same answers: don't know, probably, wait and see. That gets tedious, and there's been plenty of it this weekend. Imagine it going on in the background, and I'll take it as read.
The sun shone on snowy landscapes all the way down to London, but as we came into the city we began to see snow lying on the pavements too, which was odd; surely the earlier snowfall would have been cleared away by now? In the taxi from King's Cross, the driver confirmed that yes, there had been an abrupt and heavy snowfall early that morning.
( Carols on Friday )
( Family on Saturday )
( Sunday: so much to see in London )
( Monday in transit (eventually) )
