Snow, Snow, Snow

This is the picture we woke up to this morning. Okay, well it would have been if we had been sleeping in the staircase. It snowed early this morning in London!! When we first woke up the streets and the sidewalk were blanketed with snow. It actually stuck. It is supposed to snow some more this morning and then rain, so I expect this will all be gone by the time the kids come home from school but who knows. Kiki was extremely excited, messaging all her friends.
Snake was a little calmer and Chizz was downright underwhelmed. It is pretty. Actually you have a whole different viewpoint of the snow when you know it is only temporary; you don't have to drive in it day after day, you don't have to bundle up for weeks on end, you don't have to shovel it off the sidewalk. We know that this will last the most a day or two so it is much easier to enjoy the novelty. The kids speculating whether they will get another snow day. Three years ago legend has it (the legend of the "Snow Day"), that it snowed so much local transport pretty much closed for a day and the school was shut down too. So much speculating on AIM this morning whether that would happen today. No way, this is not enough snow to even warrant putting on boots let alone closing a school but the kids love to "what if". So here are some more pictures of the neighborhood. If I get some actually snowing pictures later, I will try and put them on. It is going to make it so much easier to sit around and read my book with my blanket in my lap today! Yay! Snow Day!!
