The English Snow Day

We don't really get snow over here but when we do, no matter how little we get, the entire country comes to a stand still. These photographs were taken January 25th. I took one looking out the door and thought to myself "Hurrah! The excuse I had been looking for!". Knowing it would take me about 2 hours to travel the 4 miles to campus I stayed home. It wasn't worth it for a three and a half hour class.

One of my friends tried to make the journey to campus. She pulled out of her drive and instantly found herself sitting in traffic for half an hour. Once freed she returned home.

Dad has several photographs of snow days off school where there was never actually any snow on the ground but because it had been predicted the day before, the school took the decision to be closed the next day.

January 2007 has become one of the mildest Januarys on record.
