Heavy Snow Brings London to a Stop

LONDON, Feb. 2--A beautiful yet crippling blanket of snow fell across much of England Monday, causing transportation nightmares but giving rise to thousands of cheery snowmen in a nation barely equipped for heavy winter weather.

Nearly a foot of snow had landed in London by mid-day and another solid dump was expected Monday night in what meteorologists called the heaviest snowfall in nearly two decades. Snow also caused transportation disruptions in France and Ireland, as the icy weather blew westward across northern Europe.

I didn't think it ever snowed in London, just fog all the time every day.
