The price of beauty is pain.

The Northern Line was out from Golders Green to Edgware this evening. I'm told it snowed or something. Hundreds of commuters got to get out and wait for buses. So I nicked off to the Indian across the road for dinner, in the hope of waiting it out. No such luck, of course, so I gave up and walked it. Quicker than the buses and cars, too. Gloves on, scarf wrapped around head. (I so needed my hat.) Only half an hour of the icy pavement duckwalk, and I only fell on my arse once. That's my day's exercise for sure.

ali_anarres complained about some stupid bastard going on about the joy of snow on LiveJournal. ewtikins asked if I enjoyed the walk.

I, of course, loudly proclaimed:

"SNOW!!!"

With the waving arms and everything.

ewtikins made a snowman! The eyes are potatoes, the nose is a parsnip, the mouth is radishes and the arms are celery. The scarf is synthetic.

Be sure to add snow!!! to your interests.

you know I am so jealous.
Two years, TWO WHOLE YEARS* I spent in that city and did it snow? No! Well, once for five minutes whilst I was walking down the road and even then, it had evaporated before it hit the ground. Doesn't count.

*okay, so I'm exaggerating. I go to other places, but there were two winters and that's what counts

Wish I'd brought the camera to work with me this morning. It snowed again overnight - beautiful fresh snow over everything, by daylight. The sky is clear too.

Of course, this means the ice will be an Utter Bastard over the weekend. And more snow will go on top of it Monday, looks like.
