Snow Day!

We didn't think we'd see it but London is covered in a blanket of beautiful white snow! As of this morning more than a foot of snow had fallen and while more is still expected, it's already the most snow since 1964.

The city came to a screeching halt with all buses being suspended, the airports closed or cancelling most flights an almost trains and the Tube working a very limited schedule. Of course, the dedicated employee that he is Jeremy made it to work but was one of very few to do so. 12 inches of snow is nothing for us Midwesterners!

Unfortunately, we were traveling this weekend and due to the weather we didn't get home until 1am this morning, much later than the 9pm we anticipated. BUT we are thankful we made it all considering our flight was the last one to land before the airport was closed, we got the last train into the city and I had the number for a car service on my phone so a car was waiting to take us the rest of the journey home from the train station (as the Tube was virtually closed down by the time we arrived in London last night).

Mac was a trooper through it all and loved seeing the falling snow and walking in it today.

Our heavy duty snow gear is in the US so we didn't spend too much time playing outside today be did get a chance to visit one of the many snowmen erected all around the city.

Mac catching snowflakes on her tongue next to a giant snowman the college kids in our neighborhood made last night. Notice the rain boots. Definitely saw more of these than snowboots.
