We are now well aware that it is quite some time since we last had snow in this quantity. During this period, London's population has been swollen by the arrival of many foreigners, a substantial number of them coming from countries where heavy snow arrives every winter. The BOF is delighted to note that they have introduced us to some new ways of being creative with the white powdery stuff.
Shapes more familiar in parlours than parks have sprung up, some exquisitely crafted. So, without further ado, feast your eyes on the SNOWFA.
This first example is, or was, riddled with detail - cushions, covers, creases - the BOF even noticed a coffee stain.
The second, while lacking in refinement. makes up for it with completeness. Here you see not just a snowfa, but a full lounge set, including easy-chair, footstool and TV.
Sightings from other parts of the capital have been trickling in all day. Favourite amongst these is the description of meticulously modelled life-sized statues-in-snow of two homeless people, lying on the ground with their arthritic ice-fingers wrapped around a can of wife-beater.
Does this mean the end of the winter market in carrots?
