We have had a Siberian weather front come in from the north and cause chaos in south-east england. According the to weather records this has been the heaviest snowfall for 20 years.
It all started on Sunday night. I looked out of our bedroom window at around 9pm and was surprised to see a thick blanket of snow covering the road. I took some video footage to record it for posterity.
In the morning I checked the train website and was unsurprised to see that all trains from Ladywell AND Lewisham had been cancelled.
The road outside our house had not been gritted and those cars on the road had a tough time getting up Vicars Hill. A couple of cars got stuck and needed a push to get up the hill. I didn’t see any accidents which was a relief considering the conditions.
All bus services were cancelled throughout the London area(something not even the Luftwaffe could do). This, and the lack of cars created an usual and rather pleasant quietness to the surrounding area.
I worked from home and was jealous to hear the others heading off to Hilly Fields to play in the snow :-).
