Snow way that just happened

So it snowed in London. And everyone cares and it's a huge story and businessmen at the airport giggled at the delays like schoolboys while our flights got delayed and then delayed and then cancelled and then rerouted and arrived 12 hours after we were supposed to be home.

There were lots of snowball fights that escalated and ended in arrests and assaults. The London Underground didn't run (it's underground, as the name implies). No one went to work except for a couple of Americans who had seen snow before. My flatmate got to work to find the elevators out of commission. She walked up 38 flights of stairs; no one else showed up to work.

Really strange how everyone reacted is all. They revelled in it and then just got paralyzed and hopefully tomorrow they'll get on with it. Usually you'd expect Londoners to skip the revelling and paralysis and just get on with it straight away, so I'm slightly disillusioned. Just when I thought I had them figured out...

Frustrating day.
