Let it snow...

For most of you snow isn't a cause for excitement.  Well, when you live in London and less than an inch of snow wreaks havoc on the city, 6 inches is a blizzard.

Snow is a truly magical thing, it reduces adults to children and brings a smile to all our faces.  At first we doubted the meteorologists who don't exactly have the best record for predicting the weather here (or anywhere for that matter).

So as we were getting ready to head to bed on Sunday and prepare for another week the snow began to fall.  After a few hours there was a generous coating; we like many people popped outside to get pictures of this rare but wonderful event:






Sweet.




But of course we expected the snow to taper off to a rain and be a slushy mess by morning.  So
 after watching the Steelers jump out to an early Superbowl lead it was to bed with fingers crossed but prepared for normalcy to ensue, or would it...




And there you go, London gets hit
with the most snow they've had
in 20 yrs.  It's about time because
we NE'ers were missing the fluffy
white stuff.


Lest we get used to it, now it's cold and rainy again.  I guess the only cure is a trip down under...
