It snowed in London today. It was a pretty average 6-inch Utah snowstorm, but it paralyzed this vast city that hasn’t seen so much snow in 18 years. All buses were suspended and with millions depending on them for transportation, the city came to a halt. We walked a little more than a mile to the Family History Centre and witnessed many happy children building snowmen because the schools were closed. As we walked through the Imperial College of
London, we worried about getting hit with a snowball. At least 50 students were having a big snowball fight and you could hear their laughter for several blocks.

People everywhere were taking pictures. I don’t remember another day that I’ve seen so much happiness in this big and sometimes gloomy city.

So I read on the news that the snow cost London 5Billion dollars because everything shut down. That is kind of hilarious, sad but hilarious. If only they knew what real snow was.
OK. I finally figured out how to leave a comment. I've been blogger challenged... but no more. It is so fun to see the pictures of the people you know and interact with and hear about your daily experiences.
We read about the snow in London and what a big event it was. Maybe it was just for you, to remind you of Utah.
