No Trains, No Buses, No Cabs...I guess I will toboggan into work?

The snow hit London hard on Monday, February 1st. Even though all of central London was closed Starbucks was still open. Unfortunately, I couldn't get to work so I got a snow day! It was really nice to have snow but unfortunately it was short lived and melted within about two days. They are forecasting a repeat of Monday's record snowfall in London for this Tuesday, February 10th.
