G'day everyone,

Hope you are enjoying your first snow fall of the year. You may have heard that London doesn't get any snow, but today I found out that this is actually not the case. I was walking to the gym this afternoon when an amazing sight met my eyes in front of the mall. The street was covered in snow! Jumping cornish pasties!

All the pedestrians had smiles on their faces at this unusual winter scene, but I was not to be fooled. I'm Canadian! There were a few things I immediately picked up on that that the average bloke would surely have missed:

1) It was sunny and 5 degrees outside.
2) There was only one part of the street that had snow on it.
3) There were two men spreading the snow from bags out of the back of a truck.

I picked up a handful and it wasn't even cold to the touch. Upon closer inspection I found that this "snow" was actually ground up paper! I smiled and had one of those "You know you're not in Canada anymore WHEN" moments. I suppose I'll keep this finding a secret and let my fellow Londoners enjoy a white Christmas. It wasn't anything like a typical Canadian winter scene though (it would take a lot of paper to simulate 5 foot snow banks).
