A Snow Day!

Monday (Day 29): Let it Snow!

Heaviest Snow Recorded in 20 Years.
Class cancelled. Public transit suspended.

My three roommates and I woke up surprised to receive e-mails cancelling class for the morning! After we had gone to bed abandoning the Super Bowl at halftime, it had snowed four to six inches. Back home, such a snowfall might lead to a two hour delay, but in England, this is the most snow they’ve gotten in the past twenty years!Because snow is such a rare occurrence and because many of the roads are so narrow, many go unattended. Tube lines were either closed down or delayed, AND my internship interview with the Camden People’s Theater scheduled for today was cancelled. Despite these set backs, Tuche and I trudged to Piccadilly hoping that at least movie theaters and West End shows were still open. We were so excited to see Che Part 1, but no such luck!At least the Pizza Express across the street remained open, allowing us to go back to South Ken feeling like we’d done something fun! Regardless, it was a great day without classes that gave us a beautiful view of the city in the snow!
