Snow Day



It has been called the worst snow storm in 15-18 years here in London and we are in the worst of it. I wouldn't really call it a storm. It is more like snow with a lot of wind. We had heard that they were forecasting cold weather and snow for this weekend and beginning of the week, but we didn't take it seriously. I just thought that it would be another Alabama forecast of snow and we would get a few flurries or a dusting. Well, they were more than right. Most of the public transportation has been shut down and the major motorways are pretty bad. I don't think that it has stopped snowing since yesterday afternoon around 1:00pm. We woke up and wondered if we would be able to make it to work with the roads so covered and icy. We watched the news and weather and they told us about the roads. We called a co-worker and he said that work was closed. So, we called it a SNOW DAY!! We met the neighbor kids and had a snowball fight with about 6 of us. They even had their snowboards out and went snowboarding around the apartment. The snow is really different than Alabama snow. It is really dry like Colorado snow. It was hard to make a snowman. The best we could do was a really small one. It would make a great snow cone though! It is going to snow for the rest of the evening and into tomorrow. We will see what the outcome is! It makes the English countryside look really pretty!
