Snow!

Monday, 2nd Feb 2009

7am-alarm rings and I bang it to shut it up...another monday morning blues..anyways i kicked myself out of the bed at 7:20 and sleepily saw out of the window.. It was snowing heavily and continuously! Never seen heavy snowing before...was as if loads and loads of white cotton balls were floating smoothly to the ground. It was damn exciting to watch and absolutely beautiful. Time was racing and I had to get ready for the office and reluctantly shoved myself away form the window. All ready and out of the house, myself and Sum stood wondering before the heavy snowfall and figuring out where the pathway/road was and more than that, how in the world could we drive ! Just then, i received a call from my boss telling me to take a day off coz of the heavy snow! What a perfect monday morning!!:) Holiday! kewwwl....
Seems it was 18 years since it snowed so heavily in Britain! All day long I stood by the huge windows and never stopped gazing out...was totally mindblowing and exciting
All the schools were shut for the day and so were most of the offices! The next few days were snowing as well, but on a lesser scale.
Britain, I read, is not used to handling snow in such massive scale...it is hard to keep the roads and highways clear of snow and to grit, though gritting lorries were trying their best to do their job
