Description Taken on my way to work on Monday, February 2 - the day that snow brought one of the world's biggest cities to a standstill. Busses were stopped, the tube wasn't running and Heathrow had to shut down.

London, February 2009.

I'm sure that little red man never had such a lovely backdrop before!
Well seen, btw.!

Awsome shot!

Snow shutting down the Tube? I thought they were too far underground for that.

you'd think that, wouldn't you? but the tube really only tends to be underground in the city centre - so if there's sow on the tracks outside of the city, it all breaks down. but its a brittle system anyway that breaks down for no good reason...

I get it now.

I guess here in Canada we're so used to snow that they have a quick means of clearing it off the tracks.

I'm so sick of the snow right now.

exactly the problem. here, they have no idea/means to deal with any amount of snow... they just wait until it all melts.

That would take WAY too long here.

That little dude in the light looks pretty warm though!
