Heavy snow causes travel chaos in London and most of the South East today but it was a great day for snowmen!
It’s been a couple of years since we had snow in London, but at the time of the last wee flurry in January 2007 I took a snap from our bedroom window and emailed it to the BBC Winterwatch weather site. The photo was posted under the www.bbc.co.uk’s main site and as a side benefit resulted in number one spot on Google for the search ‘reuben cook’ for quite some months (how SEO works… the IT consulting business I founded, The Full Circle (www.thefullcircle.com) later spent thousands trying to achieve similar results :S )
Anyway, this isn’t a technology post other than the slight SEO reference that may raise a wry smile from those who know our SEO shenanigans, it’s about the weather!

The news from the BBC... stay at home!
