Let it Snow
It’s snowing! It began about three hours ago and inspired a spontaneous snowball fight in the square outside my apartment building. My friends and I threw snowballs at each other for about an hour, capping it off with a fight with three other kids we didn’t know, but who were walking around with a box full of snowballs and were looking for a fight. It was very fun, and there are still tons of people outside enjoying this very rare snow.
There were fire trucks outside for some reason (probably a false alarm) just a little bit ago, and a kid threw a snowball at one of the firemen, who turned around and tried to chase him, but fell over and had about twenty people pelting him with snowballs. He took it well though, he was laughing.
I closed out my night watching an episode of Fawlty Towers with my flatmate. Fawlty Towers is an old British sitcom, and it was a good ending to one of the best nights I’ve had in London so far.
Here is a picture of me in front of an art piece on campus and a picture of my flatmate throwing a snowball at me while I photograph one of the fire trucks which were here tonight.

THe snow must have been a welcome sight for you. I heard about it last night when I was listening to BBC and they talked about how rare it is and how they are unprepared to contend with it. Have fun!
