Snow blanketed Great Britain on January 7, 2010, as the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA?s Terra satellite passed overhead and captured this image. Snow covers most of England, from the east to the west coast. (The large image shows snow cover over the entire island of Great Britain.) The cities of Manchester, Birmingham, and London form ghostly gray shapes against the white land surface. Immediately east of London, clouds swirl over the island, casting blue-gray shadows toward the north.

How cold is Europe? Even Norway's buses can't take it.

From Miss Critter's link about Europe:
The Eurostar from Paris to London, a two-hour commute for many, broke down in the tunnel under the English Channel. Again. The problem: Snow gets sucked into the engine, shorting out the electrical systems.
ok, that would about do me in, I would have heart failure
The photos from Paris are spectacular though.

I have a friend living in Paris for a year and she said the snow this year has been something only seen a few times in the history of Paris.
She has been writing a daily blog about life in Paris and it is has been a joy to read.

No wonder so many of them are coming over here to SoWal and the 14th British Colony. It has warmed up quite a bit today. Was talking to a Brit friend here the other day and they were all buzzing about the snow.

Yes a friend of mine lives in Manchester and she sent me the link to the photo. Very impressive.
