Winter weather forces schools to close.

On Monday February 2nd 2009 the South East of England was hit by snow. I
know this is not unusual in many parts of the world, but it was
interesting to watch the whole region grind to a virtual standstill. At
the time of writing this article the major London airports of Heathrow,
Gatwick and London City were all closed. Stansted airport had been closed
but has just had one runway reopened.

This table shows the number of schools reported closed. It was


interesting to note that although the snow was no heavier in the South
East of England, one of the eastern counties reported more than 250 of
its schools are closed.

This gave the children lots time to play in the snow, snowballing, making
snowmen and snow angels. The snow gave an added dimension, producing some
very picturesque scenes, many captured on camera. Travel chaos has
ensued, the M25 is closed in many places and many schools throughout the
country have been closed.
