Snow in London (The Shorthorn: Andrea Silvers)

Trip Breakdown

Day of Arrival: December 26, 2010
Current Date: December 30, 2010

London Vocabulary Lesson 1:

Wellington Boots (or wellies): The plastic rain boots that are worn by Londoners to keep their feet dry when it rains or snows. What they don't do is provide any protection from the bitter, bone chilling cold that accompanies the rain or snow.
Dear London- From what your residents tell me this is the coldest winter you’ve had in 30 years.

Being from Texas has caused me to expect things to be a bit warmer than 20 degrees on a day to day basis, but I do realize this country is going to be much colder than what I’m used to, being that it’s much farther north.

So thank you for the snowy welcome, but if you could see to it that the next time I walk to the tube station I still have the full sensation in all of my fingers that would be fantastic.

P.S. Coldest winter in 30 years?! Really? London 8—Andrea 0
