The Beast from the East Arrived. West Hampstead got photographing.

It all kicked off on Monday with the first flakes of snow.

But the snow had a downside. 🙁

@camdentalking 5 crashes in 1/2 hour from black ice at the Gascony Ave / Kingsgate crossroad. Please can someone close the road until it’s safe @WHampstead @KilburnLondon pic.twitter.com/gQgE1TPSYw

There were a few snowmen, sorry, snowpersons ( this one was only 20cm high)

And still it kept on snowing…

Down on the Kilburn High Road they were wrapping up warm.

More snow on the way. Wrap up warm for your Kilburn High Road commute this morning.

And we will leave the final word to this optimistic snow graffiti artist.

Another @WHampstead snow tweet I know, *groan*, but I did enjoy the positive messages written on people’s cars this morning – makes a change to the usual obscenities…! pic.twitter.com/LsiQa4olMj
