Possible interpretations for this picture . . .
1) Despite my best efforts, I need to sleep more.
2) It's snowing.
3) Damn, I was having a really good hair day.
4) It's snowing in London.
5) Purple really is an excellent color for me.
6) HOLY FUCKING SHIT, IT'S SNOWING IN LONDON!
So yes, it was snowing in London. A lot. And by a lot I mean 6 to 8 inches. Now, by upstate New York standards, this is nothing. By Massachusetts standards, it's snow but it's nothing to write home about.
It only takes 6 to 8 inches of snow to cripple the city of London.
Tubes were shutting down left and right. Buses became non-existant. The top story in the paper was a guy who walked 8 hours to work. The top story on TV was how to drive safely in the snow. The borough of Southwark ran out of grit to salt their sidewalks. People here don't believe in properly salting sidewalks. People here don't own shovels. Shopowners were outside with wire brooms sweeping their stoops. A couple people had giant spades and looked like they were ready to go dig some graves. School was cancelled for two days (not at the London Center, clearly.) It was pandamonium.
The good news is, it warmed up. It's raining now and the snow's completely melted. But everyone still seems a little shaken. After all, this was the most snow they'd seen since 1991. It was kinda funny. I giggled, I won't lie.
Oh, I almost forgot a possible interpretation.
7) Londoners are silly. This snow ain't got shit on me.
