Winter wonderland or woe?


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. Travel chaos has ensued, the
M25 is closed in many places and many schools throughout the country have been closed.

School Closures
The dramatic change in the weather has meant that a number of areas are experiencing transport
problems. This means that many schools across the country have been closed.

Country Closed
This table shows the number of schools reported closed. It
South East is interesting to note that although the snow is no heavier in
Essex 250+ the South East of England, one of the eastern counties has
Hertfordshire 100+ reported more than 250 of its schools are closed.
Middlesex 80+
This gave the children lots time to play in the snow,
Sussex 50+ snowballing, making snowmen and snow angels. The snow
North gave an added dimension, producing some very picturesque
Greater 100 scenes, many captured on camera.
