London Snowed In!
London covered in a layer of white powder. Schools and businesses closed down. Everybody has a smile on their face. It kind of reminds me why we are "dreaming of a white Christmas" every year.
The london transport system received a fair share of criticism in its handling of the chaos that was monday morning. With all the busses out of service and just about every tube line ground
to standstill you can understand why monday the 2nd of February was more of a black monday instead of a white monday. I don't necessarily agree with the criticism though. You can't really expect public transport in a metropole like london, where a majority of the lines run over ground, to be prepared and able to respond to freak weather like we saw this week. Just like you can't expect Thailand to be prepared for a tsunami, this amount of snowfall is not really something you can anticipate or budget for in terms of staff.
The weather forecast predicts more snow for friday morning. If it means we have another picturesque wonderland like white monday, I say fingers crossed!
