worst snowstorm in Britain in 18 years...

...translated...everything came to a screeching halt today. Both the Budman and I worked from home, buses and tubes were inactive, and schools were closed. At our house alone, we had 8-10 inches.

Only thing happening in the outside world were the kids making snowmen. Ah... to have been out there with 'em.

For your viewing pleasure. First up: Sunday night snowfall just as it was beginning....

Early Monday AM...the decision NOT to drive to work has been made. Moments later, the Budman and I both learned that no mass transit meant it was a "work from home" day.

I just saw the news about the snowstorm and I thought of you! I bet it was hard to stay in, but the pics are so pretty! (To an outsider who wishes for some snow) Take care and stay warm! TH

Both Budman and I worked from home...from 6 am or so till 8 pm...we got on a roll and just forged ahead. Budman never even stepped out of the house...I at least broke for 10 minutes to grab some photos for posterity. I was nice to be working from home together though!
