    A Minnesota Sprinkle = a London Crisis

    The BBC is calling it the worst snow London has seen in 18 years, the Guardian has dubbed it "An Arctic Freeze" and the Minnesotan's I am here with are calling it humorous. Last night I walked out of my flat and nearly 30 students were throwing snowballs, making snowmen or just sliding around... the only problem was there wasn't even an inch of snow on the ground yet!

    By 9:00 p.m it was official tomorrow would be a snow day, all school facilities will be closed. I awoke this morning to find my campus blanketed in a whole 2 INCHES OF SNOW!!! YIKES

    1. Haha! And rained here yesterday for probably 20 minutes and they're calling it a "miracle." Go figure

    3. I bet 2 inches was a scary thing to see.
