Snow again!

Woke up this morning and found a good 5cm of snow in the drive way, the best part was that it didn't stop falling until about 11am. So you can imagine what the ride into work today was like, cold, slow and slushy.

It is quite amazing how a little bit of snow falls and the world as we know it grinds to and halt as if Armageddon had happened, but we some how managed to all survive. I tell you, people lose all ability to act in a coherent manner once they are surrounded by a bit of fresh powder (a bit of dreaming, it's more like an ice slushy once the first few cars drive over it).
Simple tasks like walking across the road and driving, suddenly become life defining moments with people and cars randomly spread out over the streets as if they were confetti. Cyclists are left to duck and weave between them, trying not to get hit by anything bigger than they are.

Bridgette experienced a bit of mob-attitude on the way to the tube this morning, as she was forced to catch public transport because of a study trip to Liverpool this evening. Pushing and shoving at tube stations is common, but is accentuated by snow, and under threat of the station being closed she decided to catch the bus.
Returning to the bus stop closest to our place there was no trouble getting on, but as the bus was completely full the driver refused to take more passengers from the stop outside the tube station. Obviously this didn't go down too well with the 100's of people unable to get into the tube station, so the bus was bashed by commuters and snow balls were thrown. Londoners!

Short and sweet this time, and no photos unfortunately. Bridgette is away until late Saturday night, so it could be a pretty quiet weekend.
