  • It’s Snowest Hampstead!

    It’s Snowest Hampstead!

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

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

    And we woke on Wednesday to this…

    The cemetery looked splendid too…

    But the snow had a downside. 🙁

    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.

    Health Town had a special winter offer…

    And was there frozen ham on the menu at the newly opened Ham?

    And the ever arty Kitchentablenw6 spotted this.

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

  • Baby it’s cold outside

    So, don’t know whether any of you noticed, but there’s been a light sprinkling of snow in NW6 over the past couple of days.

    How do you think the council, TfL, and other public bodies have coped? Was enough done in advance? Was there enough grit? Have they reacted fast enough given the sudden dumping of a few inches in just a couple of hours? What else could have been done given financial constraints (remembering that despite snow in London over the past couple of years, it has been a relatively rare occurrence in the last decade or so)?

    Let me know your experiences and your constructive thoughts for what could be done differently.

    Remember to visit Camden’s winter pages for up-to-date information on services. And here’s an article from the BBC that gets behind the myth that the rest of Europe always copes better than we do.
