snow snow and more snow

For the second time in the last few weeks London has ground to a halt due to the amount of snow!! but believe it or not the snow plays havoc in training for the Arctic!!, the snow only lasts for a few hours before it turns into a sheet of ice making any sort of training just plain dangerous. I'm sure the enforced rest is doing me a favour but it just doesn't feel like it, it's times like this when i wish i still had some sort of gym membership.
