Oh my God!

I just looked out the window. There is a 2cm layer of snow on the ground. This wouldn't be noteworthy in many other parts of the world, but it never snows in London. We have our own microclimate here, and the temperature simply does not get cold enough for snow. Occasionally we get the sort of snow that melts as soon as it touches the ground, but this has settled - not just on cars, but on the pavement and the grass.

Oh my God! Snow!!

Was it the dry fluffy kind, or was it the wet sticky kind (what kids here call "packing snow")?

New snow always feels a bit magical to me, (and I've lived 42 winters in places where snow was expected). I can't imagine how exciting it must be to get snow in a place where it's unusual!
