Evil Monkey 52 Posted February 2, 2009 Why are the tubes in London closed? Isn''t it called an Underground for a reason?? Seriously, the slightest bit of snow and the entire South of the country comes to a complete stand-still.It''s snowed up here in Manchester too, pretty deep out where I live. No problems getting into work and although things were moving a little slowly as people took more care it''s mostly been a case of wondering what the hell the fuss is all about....... get on with it, get to work, and stop being held back by a little bit of snow. Its embarassing to be referred to as a Southerner up here, and this is precisely why..... sheesh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AP16 0 Posted February 2, 2009 I''m in London and have never seen snow so deep. Just been for a wander round Richmond park and in places its up to yer knees! It hasn''t stopped snowing for the last 12 hours and doesn''t look like it wants to either! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AP16 0 Posted February 2, 2009 It''s bizarre. London has come to a complete standstill, a lot of the tube lines are shut and the bus services are completely suspended. According to Mr Fish and his mates at the weather centre it''s not going to stop any time soon. Got some good photo''s of Richmond park, and a few from last night''s 11pm snow ball fight! :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although I am really suprised they haven''t gritted the main roads and kept the lines clear, they had plenty of warning from the met office. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although marked variations will occur from place to place, 5-10cm is likely in many areas with as much as 20-30cm possible, especially over higher ground.

AP16 0 Posted February 2, 2009 To be honest with you the roads aren''t great. I''ve just talked myself out of going to ASDA as it doesn''t look very safe. Richmond park itself is closed to vehicles but there were cars on the road outside it - albeit driving extremely slowly. I wouldn''t like to say either way whether you should drive to it or not, especially if you''re taking the nippers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
