Snow stops everything

The trouble with living in a country where snow doesn’t happen all that often is that when it does happen, despite the weather forecasters predicting it for several days, we are still completely unprepared and the result is complete and utter chaos. It took me 45 minutes to travel two stops on the tube this evening although that paled into insignificance when I heard that Michael’s colleague was still heading home at 11pm after leaving work at 5pm (a journey that normally would take 90 minutes). I hope we can manage to get back down to see my family tomorrow.
