Yesterday, we had the grand idea to venture to the nearest Costco (about an hour's drive toward London) to grab some lunch and do some serious shopping - American style. But we were surprised by a white storm only twenty minutes down the road! Though most of the English make fun of us driving an "SUV" around the streets of Canterbury, we were the ones laughing when none of the 2-wheel drive cars could make it up a 10% grade hill on the highway! There were two police men who were literally pushing cars uphill in the blizzard as we motored by. It was incredible how fast the snow dumped on us - almost six inches within an hour or two! So our Costco adventure was cut short as we wisely turned around to avoid getting caught in a gridlock (that would actually last hours!). We had quite the winter wonderland adventure though! Here are a few pictures of the snow :)
