The Weather Outside Is Frightful

Today the weather feels and looks like something straight out of a Charles Dicken's novel. All I can think of in my head is "Bleak House". The first thing I noticed when I awoke is that the street was covered in snow and there were very few cars and no buses running. The planes and trains were also down. I called to inquire about our tour and wa...
