schools' out. took out my ruler, it's 12 inches of snowfall, the heaviest in 18 years. they cancelled school because most people are like me marooned.

still, this city always comes to a standstill whenever there is a little bit of snow. no buses, no tube, no transport links. boris johnson exhorts us all to work from home. let's hope it gets better tomorrow. and they were prepared with the weather forecast

still, since it comes once every 20 years, maybe it isn't worth the investment.
