But last night, on the first day of February, it started to snow. And snow. And snow some more. The way it was coming down -- we started to wonder would we have . . .
Serious Snow Fall
The BBC told us that London had a couple of inches, but as you can see here in Cobham we had more like a foot of snow! It was more than enough snow to close Lilian and William's school and the CarVal office. The buses were stopped, half of the underground lines were closed, the airports (somewhat comically) were open, but their runways were closed. The main motorways were parking lots.
It's the biggest snowfall to hit England in 18 years!
The sad and funny part is that we certainly own all the gear we would need to take advantage of this wonderful snow, but we don't have it all with us. Thankfully we did have some. I didn't think I needed to put my snow boots and gloves in the air shipment. Who knew?
Fiona and Lilian and William got busy and built a snow igloo and a snow man. We tried to explain to the children how truly rare having this much snow is here. But to children from Minnesota -- this seems like just another winter day.

You must have packed up the cold weather mistakenly when you moved. Send it back. I am all about warm weather. Glad to see all of you are well.
