Winter weather forces schools to close

By <Your Name>

On Monday February 2nd 2009 the South East of England


was hit by snow. I know this is not unusual in many
parts of the world, but it was interesting to watch
the whole region grind to a virtual standstill. At
the time of writing this article the major London
airports of Heathrow, Gatwick and London City were
all closed. Stansted airport had been closed but has
just had one runway re-opened. Travel chaos has
ensued, the M25 is closed in many places and many
schools throughout the country have been closed.

School closures
The dramatic change in the weather has meant that a number of areas
are experiencing transport problems. This means that many schools
across the country have been closed.

County Closed
South East
Essex 250+
Hertfordshire 100+
Middlesex 80+
Sussex 50+
North
Greater Manchester 100
Lancashire 70
Cumbria 34
Durham 70
Northumberland 33
Yorkshire 1

This table shows the number of schools reported closed. It is interesting


to note that although the snow is no heavier in the South East of
England, one of the eastern Counties has reported more than 250 of its
schools are closed.

This gave the children lots time to play in the snow, snowballing, making
snowmen and snow angels. The snow gave an added dimension, producing some
very picturesque scenes, many captured on camera.
