Snow in London

Last week I was in London. To be honest it was terrible weather. London has not seen snow like this for years - they said in 20 years. It was about 15 cm snow in inner London. I was stuck for two days in hotel due to no trains, buses, tube and even the shops, restaurant were completely closed. Tempreature went on -7 to -10, yes! certainly was very cold. TVs broadingcasting this as a breaking news for almost whole day.

In Iceland, snowing with such inches is very normal in Icelandic daily life. Snow remover, salting are in place when there are snow - So, it is very common here but not yet heard as a "Breaking News". There will be a breaking news if 10-15 inches snow - I assume.
