Eventually I got to work with over 2 hours late. Great crowd in the subway was no longer there (the lines that went), but rarely drove trains. A few observations.
First, people have used the opportunity to take off. In my office was suddenly half of the workers, I've seen the way some agencies / companies completely empty. Many pubs, shops, kiosks, etc. were closed. We had a good nakombinować to eat some lunch ... In some shops where I was, shelves were partially empty. I talked with friends, made me laugh that did not go to work one of my friends who lives in the only functioning normally today, the line:) (Waterloo & City does not count - it is just the largeness of the line between Waterloo and Bank stations in the City).
Secondly, the British enjoyed as children. And frankly, even the children are more restrained. Ginger (pozdrowienia!) so behaves as the first snow of the season will see:) By nightfall, they did not pass. Wallowed in the snow, lepili snowmen, throwing snowballs. Husband colleague Londoner, could not backbite of snow, pierced Finlandczyków unless the number of terms the phenomenon experienced by myself.
And finally, how much a man can scarcely be ill-suited to the snow. A friend from Brazil had a problem with the transition 30m, with no shoes on high heels. Complained that every moment that rolled up, because slippery, uneven, etc. It was a moment fear that exclude the metro. Then I'd have on foot zasuwać about 8 miles to the house (I live and work or in the center:). It would, of course, exhausting and cumbersome, but could be do. My colleagues were shocked. They believed that this absurd idea that this is impossible, unsafe (for example, you can slip and do something), and probably that if that God thought that a man must travel through the snow, it would have a runner or a rocket instead of feet ( by the way, my feet are practically skids;)
situation in London is generally very good. The problem is not at temperatures only in the streets, in the form of snow. There are cold here, so that water, electricity and internet are, the problem is that the plow is definitely not enough bus drivers are not accustomed to driving on snow and that the city is so vast that transport is one of the fundamental issues. I am there, I could probably get a 1.5-2h to work, but people living in the suburbs needed to time and 6h (London, gives a ring road around the circle with a diameter of 50 km, and this is still an area served by the metro [subway of London is the largest world in terms of track length-400 km - for example, Moscow has 'only' 292km]). Not to mention the thousands of people who commute by train from nearby villages. Hence, closed shops, businesses, etc.
Temporarily snow is not raining, the streets are already dark, so I hope that tomorrow will be better. In any case inclined to wait at the station ... thermos unfortunately I do not have hip-flask will have to suffice:)
