    Snow hits South East England

    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.
    The dramatic change in the new weather has meant that a number of areas
    are experiencing transport problems. This means that many schools across
    the country have been closed
    <Place table here>
    School Closures
    This table shows the number of schools reported closed. It is interesting
    to note that although the snow is no heavier in the South East of England,
    one of the eastern counties has 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.
