Snow in London!

Reactions to the 20 cm of snow in greater London, the most snow the city has seen in 20 years according to BBC. 

 

"David Brown of Transport of London said the situation was 'exceptional'"

"On the roads, the southern section of M25 has treacherous driving conditions between the M23 and the A3."

"A London Ambulance Service spokesman said it received more than 650 calls between midnight and Monday morning and stressed that it would only respond to 'life-threatening calls' as it was under 'severe pressure'."

"Given the severe weather conditions and the likelihood of worse to come, the School has taken the decision to CANCEL ALL TEACHING for today. Staff are advised to remain at home if they cannot easily get into the School." -my school

Advice to those who do decide to travel: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7864788.stm

Schools (including universities) are cancelled. All Tube lines are severely delayed, or partially/fully suspended. Buses are not running. The city has completely shut down. All from a mere 7 inches of snow. It is a complete joke. 

Also funny...the city has no snow plow.

I got in a cab today and the cab driver was complaining about how he needed to start stocking up on snowballs in his front seat to defend himself from the children. Apparently taxis make great targets.
