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.

We drove past a truck having a sleep at the side of the A19 this evening (bits of it sticking out into the road still). But most importantly, we seem to still have a roof on the conservatory and house, and electricity (at the moment - the video clock tells us that it has been off, and it was off in the village of Escrick as we passed through).

Other than that, lots of fallen branches which people are just driving around. River's flooded in York predictably too..

What, the Ouse flooded in Spring? But ... but ... that never happens! [grin]
