London Paralyzed

Quite hilarious how ill-prepared London is to the snow. A bit more than 10cm of white powder and everything stops to work. No buses today all day, trains and tube lines suspended and London Heathrow - one of the biggest airports in the world - has cancelled all the flights until 5pm today.

London Business School has a particularly funny piece of advice to all the people on campus today:

"For those of you on campus today [...] Please take care and try not to walk between buildings unless absolutely necessary to minimise the possibility of accidents in the snow." 

The great thing about all this: the city is nice and quite as the streets are almost empty and the snow swallows the remaining sounds. This and all the white scenery - just beautiful!

Ce serait beau, tiens, si on était dispensés d'aller bosser pour 10 cm de neige... Je me demande ce qu'il faudrait pour vraiment bloquer Lausanne plus qu'une ou deux heures...

Entretemps c'est plutôt vers les 20 cm. C'est du jamais vu pour Londres! Pas d'équipage pour nettoyer les rues par example. Mais je me rappelle une année à Loz avec des wagons de trolleybus abandonnés à cause de la neige sur la rue des Terreaux devant la grande Migros...
