[Weather] Well, there sure seems to be a lot of it ...

It looks like there's a lot of weather about in London this evening - the tubes are, predictably, all messed up (the TFL real-time disruption map, where disrupted lines are coloured and others are grey, looks mostly like a normal tube map). London Bridge station, according to the reputable [livejournal.com profile] ciphergoth, is falling apart, and therefore may be closed. And the surface trains are all delayed too.

In the rest of the country, there's heavy snow in Scotland, and so far, according to the BBC, the storms have claimed seven lives, mostly from falling trees, falling walls and high-sided vehicles.

If you're driving, please drive carefully. If you're not, and you live in London, good luck getting home ...

EDIT: Apparently the trams in Croydon are thoroughly snarfed by fallen trees, too.

Glad that I decided to avoid London Bridge - although I had to walk from St James' Park to Victoria as they'd closed the underground station due to overcrowding. Once there, all trains showed as delayed, but I jumped a Horsham one eventually, and even got a seat! The trams were running again by the time that I got to Croydon, though ...
