There was snow on the ground this morning - in London.
Until the last 3 years I can only remember it happening about 2 or 3 times before.
Even when the rest of the country has snow it tends to be about 2 or 3 degrees warmer here. It's mostly disappeared on the roads, but some of the side roads, and the gardens and rooftops are still covered.
London would be a bad destination for snow. Rural is better than the city. Scotland is more likely but you'd probably be best of trying somewhere like Norway, or Lapland that do Christmas tourism with trips to see Santa, or the northern parts of Germany (where they apparently have great winter markets, which I'd like to see). Also we cope very badly with snow and close the airports...
We used to stay on a farm in Wales (which rented out a holiday caravan) for a week in the summer when I was growing up, and they told us about the winter there one year - where the snow had drifted against the side of the house and their son had been sliding out of the upstairs window down the snow banks. That'd be worth seeing.
In London we pretty much have grey slush and a transport system that can't cope.
Please let the wind be blowing at my back on the way home. I walked in this morning with the snow hitting my face the whole way.

much like an awe struck five year old would say, upon spying him putting presents under the tree.
C'mon now... If you're gonna go making up words, you could at least make them sound believeable >_>
