That's a lovely image, all the trappings of our modern world shops,
lighting, cars and even tram set against such heavy snow that doesn't melt.
I know it's daft, but wouldn't it be beautiful to see that here . It can
happen looking at the latest GFS! I can see the easterly wind whipping up
heavy snow showers from the Gulf of Catford and depositing them in Sydenham
Road. Sava Center, Morrissons and Lidyls all having to put little sled type
runners on their shopping trolleys.
Mind you we've never really tested the Doner kebab under such conditions.
I'm concerned that in temperatures like that they would (the high fat
content) congeal immediatley with despratley sad scenarios of people sort
of 'caught in time' found stuck to bus stops the next day.
Imagine poor old Tudor having to junp start his Trombone!

Yesterday a chain of snow showers, induced by open sea at Gulf of Finland,
poured (is there a more approppriate word for solid precipitation ?) snow
to coastal parts of the town, and at the entire southern coastline (up to
20 cm). Bad driving conditions but no serious accidents. Snow blocked the
moving parts of tram tracks so in the evening tracks there were delays up
to one hour.

Yes this reminds me of another town on an lonely island...

Elena, back home
