The warnings were there and on Sunday night as we went to bed, it had started snowing but I don’t think anything could have prepared us for what we woke up to.
When we got up at 7AM there was about 30cm of snow everywhere. We went for a walk to a park nearby and I got to make a snow angel. While the snow was fun, it was widespread and as a result a lot of roads were not cleared. It turns out that although it rains a lot on London, and snows occasionally, it never snows this much. The entire London bus network was shut down and only about a quarter of the underground lines were operating. The news was recommending people only travel if absolutely necessary. London, a city of millions just shut down.
We had to get to the bank, so we took the underground in to Oxford Street. When we got there, after walking a few blocks in the snow, it was closed. Instead we went shopping at Primark again and spent some more money on clothes.
