The news this evening was full of accounts of a "catastrophic"  
snowstorm which buried London in a foot of snow. All activity in  
London came to an abrupt halt save for snowball battles amongst  
bankers and stockbrokers who couldn't get to their usual jobs of  
cheating the public. This verifies my opinion that most Brits are  
weather wimps. A foot of lake effect snow falls every winter day  
before lunch in upstate NY, Vermont and New Hampshire. Buffalo and  
Syracuse had over 100 inches so far this year and Punxitawny  Pete  
promised another 6 weeks of winter to come.

Can some UK photographers brave the snow with their Leicas and  
document the trials and tribulations of snowbound Londoners? Perhaps  
Gee Bee can show pictures of cross country skiers in the Lake Country.
