Draped in white

So today London had the heaviest snowfall in 20 years. It was fun and the place looked beautiful (for a change). I got up on time and while walking to my station, slipped on the snow and fell on my umbrella. Poor thing broke into two. :(
On reaching the train station, I found it to be closed. There was just one guy at the station and he said I cannot manage the station single-handedly. He was waiting for his supervisor to come in from East London. My train line, however, was running. Stations on either side of my station were up and functional, but then how the hell do we reach the nearby stations?!! The situation was so bad that for the first time in living history, all buses had been kept off the roads. Anyhow, I reached office 3 hrs late and took loads of pics on the way. Here they are. :)

(Btw, can you guess my favourite one from the below? :P)

I'm guessing your fav. one is either the dead tree with the snow on it or the flowers covered in snow (2nd from last).

Wish we were there!

You take great pictures man.

I love the big bushy tree and the underground sign. The latter being the best picture I think.

So Rebel did you build a snowman?

London looks great in the snow - so much cleaner than usual!

@All -> Thanks a lot for the compliments. And sorry for the delayed response. Had had a very hectic week and so couldn't reply to the comments, or comment on other blogs.
Though I had initially liked the bicycle one the best (as correctly guessed by IJD), I now like all of them. :)
