I had been told that when it snows in London the place can't cope. This was the teensiest bit of snow you could ever expect for the "white" look - and it was causing some havoc. A colleague of mine took nearly 2 hours to drive to work, which normally takes 30min. Cars were crashing or spinning out - the snow wasn't deep but it was dense and slippery. Mond you snow isn't exactly a super rare occurrence and you'd think the city (or the populace) would be better prepared to cope. Walking, I found it best to walk on the U trampled snow or where there was no snow left at all - compacted snow was treacherously slippery. Since I catch the tube, my transport to work was unaffected and on time.
Most of the snow was gone by 11am, but we're supposed to get more later this week. Might be nice if its a white weekend, especially if the snow is right down in London's centre?
