Yeah, snow. You know, everything’s slippery, kids running around, snowballs hitting you in the face every ten seconds, wet socks…snow.

That’s right kids, London’s in sweet slumbers under thick white sheets (measured in at around 16cm, apparently). And when I say slumbers, I mean it – all bus connections have been canceled, and some tube lines are not working either (some parts of many lines are not underground). The streets are much emptier than normal, all lectures at the University were canceled for today (to be rescheduled)…it’s wonderful. Everyone’s loving it…everyone that’s outside, anyway.

It all started yesterday, with some periodic snowing during our football match, and things got heavy around 8 pm. Around nine there was at least 60 of us involved in a massive snowfight in the intersection outside, chucking snowballs amidst (gradually leaving) Porshes and Jaguars, a moving madness of snowing free-fall. The hard-core stayed out till after 2am. Much of today we spent in various snow-related activities in Hyde Park with unspurisingly massive numbers of other people of various sorts. ‘Twas fun. Tomorrow, should lectures be canceled, we will head to Primrose Hill.

There will be photos of a snow-covered London up….eventually.

UPDATE: Lectures canceled tomorrow, whee!
