My third day in London in early 2009 was coming to a close with this lovely sunset behind the Palace of Westminster.

Palace of Westminster, London

Except that it wasn’t so lovely the next morning.

Snowy Palace of Westminster

Even though snow is pretty, London really does not know how to deal with it, especially when 6 inches fall, causing all sorts of delays and closures, making getting around difficult only to arrive at sights that are partially open or totally closed. I wasn’t angry, though, because there wasn’t anything I could do about it. And it only hindered a few, small plans, like seeing Les Miserables, which I will finally see in a couple weeks in Cleveland, and the changing of the guard. Of course, things I missed are a perfect reason to return.
