London snow.

by **PhilR** » February 2, 2009, 4:27 pm

London and south east worse snow since 1991. Up to 10 inches fallen. No London buses now or night buses last night at all, now 0920 here. Trains and tubes severely restricted. A winter wonderland

. I can't work out if it is more a reason to live in Thailand or not, as i like snow!

People ringing TV/radio "why can't England cope?". You can't have fleets of snow ploughs for once in every 18 years! Another dose of snow expected this afternoon, and Russian freezing 'wind chill' winds too! Happy days! =D>

2 runways closed at Heathrow... Looks like a Cyprus Airlines plane had a skid and ended up with front wheel in the grass and it appears to have lost the wheel.

I think they will be dishing out the Johnnie Walker now. And clean underwear.

I bet the pilot made a skid mark of his own.

There's a nice video clip (of snow in London) on this BBC News link:-

Mrs. Westerby can't get into work at the Hairdressers today so she's off as well. She's had me taking pictures of the snow in the back garden. Silly old Moo has been here years and still insists on taking photos.

It's my bike. Hold still while I pump the tyres up.

Well it's supposed to be sunny in Hampshire tomorrow but ice on the roads first thing. Arjay, keep us posted on whether your brother manages to get airborne or not.
