My first day at my internship

Today was my first day at my internship, which I'm at 9:30-5:30 Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I was a few minutes late because of the weather slowing the trains, but most of my co-workers were an hour or so late, so I was excused. The weather I speak of is about 8 inches of snow yesterday, which is slush and ice today. London hasn't had snow in this quantity for 18 years. Its amazing, this is normal to us Iowans but here, time stops. The underground was closed in many places, all buses were stopped, most workplaces closed and of course, we did not have classes. They just don't know what to do when this happens. It would be similar to Orlando, FL getting a foot of snow overnight. We saw people scooping their stoops with egg cartons and pieces of cardboard boxes.
