Snow in Southampton is a rarity. We get a couple of snow showers every year, but they rarely lay. Every few years, however, we’ll get a couple of inches, which will shut the city down.
Today was such a day. We got a text message from the school informing us that it was closed, and so I decided to brave the weather and drive to work instead of cycling. This turned out not to be a fantastic plan; my 20 minute drive to work turned into a one-hour drive followed by a 30 minute walk. I arrived at the university just in time to be told to go home as the University was about to close due to the weather.
When I eventually got back home, I found we had a dangerously low supply of hot-chocolate, so I walked to the supermarket to pick up supplies, taking my camera with me.
