it snowed and the world took a break

as the gentle snowflakes fell gracefully all night, london was thickly blanketed in snowy white by morning. the icy roads caused most public transport to be halted, classes canceled and people stranded. a one day disruption of the tube services leads to an estimated 48 million pounds loss. with no buses and limited tubes running that day, ALOT of revenue was not generated. the worst snow this place has seen in 18 years.the brother, all the way from down under says "Hey, heard that all you londoners were running around like jakuns, because you lot have never seen that much snow in your life! Ha ha...the rest of the world saw it on tv..."well yeah, undeniable. instead of working, studying, filling our day with the normal routine, there were snow wars, rolling giant snowballs and building snow men. the little surprises life holds. :)
