Snow... Not Unusual But...
January 29, 2004

What a mad snowstorm... one minute it was just getting dark, almost 5.00 I guess... I was sitting at the kitchen table working on the toofriedfish website for Chris and vaguely aware of water (rain I assumed) running down the kitchen window...

Then there was flash which I guessed was a train arcing over at Tulse Hill Staion [I'm up on the 6th floor], followed by a huge clap of thunder!!!

When I looked up the whole building was engulfed in a blizzard of snow, like a giant South London snow dome! Anything more than 10 metres away was lost in a wall of whiteness, occassionally flashing into view through the lightning.

The storm lasted about 20 minutes and by 5.30 the snow had practically stopped falling, the whole place covered in a couple of inches of snow!!! Although I am only guessing from what i can see from the window and measuring snowfall is obviously a dark art, as this piece from the digital snow museum will testify!

Phew, came over quite poetic there! Sorry... I've never experienced a snow storm with thunder and lightning before. At least not that I remember anyway... I didn't even think such a thing was likely.

I'm sure I wouldn't have enjoyed it half as much if I was out in it mind!!!
