Snow blankets Britain
Readers of NightHawk in Britain don’t need telling this but my many readers outside the UK might be interested to know that we are experiencing our heaviest snow in 18 years. The last time that we had so much of the white stuff was 7-9 February 1991 – that’s before we had the Web and blogs!
Here in London, it started last night and this morning we measured five inches in our garden. The kids in our crescent are loving it – no school and lots of snowboarding. I only had one event scheduled in town today but it was cancelled because of the snow. It’s just as well – most of London’s buses and tube lines are out of action.

Guess what
Monday morning two inches.
Monday night – rained all night.
Tuesday morning – all snow gone, blue skies, no clouds and sunshine. Cold though.
Where? 5 minutes from Angel of the North.

By Tuesday evening, most of London’s snow has gone too.

It’s Friday morning and the snow is back in London – although nowhere as heavy as on Monday.
