20090203 winter is for snow

英國/倫敦下大雪
Heavy snow in Britain means travel chaos



對於不常下雪的地方而言,snow = national day,
causing transportation nightmares but giving rise to thousands of cheery snowmen in a nation barely equipped for heavy winter weather.
lovely I would say. Oh dear, I miss it!

It was essentially a national snow day in Britain. Most schools closed, and millions of workers were unable to make their daily commutes. The capital's entire fleet of red public buses, which carry at least 6 million people daily, were off the roads, unable to move from their garages.

London's iconic subway system suffered severe delays all day, and weary-sounding officials blamed the problems on Victorian-era engineers who apparently failed to adequately plan for heavy winter weather when they designed the world's oldest underground system. Major highways were brought to a standstill, with reports of traffic jams of more than 50 miles on the M25, the highway that rings London.

the nature is just amazing.
Interesting, it's nothing for other cities in the north to have all these - huge snow,
dirty mud, decorated trees, harder moves, people know well how to deal with it, simply part of winter. But for London, it's mixed excitements and troubles.
