February 1st - Heavy snow in London

The forecasters were right when they said heavy snow would hit London and the South-East this evening. More is forecast for tomorrow and Tuesday. We will have to hope that the airports remain open and that the flights are not disrupted.


The main road outside our house in south London covered in snow. Shortly after this photo was taken the road was completely blocked by buses, trucks and cars that couldn't move because of the ice on the road. It wasn't until a gritting lorry went through that the road was cleared. As I write this heavy snow is still falling and another 2 inches is covering the road.
