this is the view from our kitchen...into the little enclave/patio of our modest flat...we live in the ground level which is partially underground...So, overnight we received the most snow in the London area in more than 20 years...london doesn' t even get a lick of snow normally...first time myra and i have seen it stick since being here...6 to 10 inches of snow...big deal right??? this is a normal day in Chicago for those back home...
but here, its a freakin' disaster...everything is basically shutdown...remember, we don't get snow here, so no need for snow removal plans, salt trucks, etc. etc...i bet many homes don't even own snow shovels...anyways, the trains (think Metra) have been shutdown...the tube lines are either partially shut or suspended...the buses (think red double decker) are not running at all...many of the airports are shutdown, including only one runway at heathrow...nobody can get anywhere because everyone here uses public transport...even if they could plow the snow, i don't even know where they would push it because streets are so narrow and everything is so tight...
i'm going to throw gus into the patio area and watch him try to fight the snow...literally...he will either try to fight it or tip toe on it like its burning hot coals...what a chooch.
