title Snowmageddon: The Beast From the East, Suffolk and London - 27th February 2018 intro It's a week of snow, as the "Beast from the East" - the weather feature formerly known as "winter" - sweeps in from the steppes of Siberia. There's even an official snow day, as the snow reaches a respectable 18cm and the school is closed. There's also a bit of excitement down at the station as the late-running 8:17 from Norwich piles on the emergency brakes and pulls up early because its Rheostatic brakes have temporarily failed due to the cold. imgc9295 There's snow on the tracks at Diss Station imgc9296 Down at Diss Station, the platform is being cleared imgc9298 There's a small clear patch on Platform 2 imgc9300 The 8:17 piles on the emergency brakes imgc9301 Adrian checks in with the driver imgc9302 Adrian wanders off to chat with the guard imgc9303 There's snow at the Xylotol factory in Brantham imgc9305 Frozen puddles and snow down at Brantham imgc9309 More snowy wasteland imgc9313 There's no snow in London yet imgc9315 Marching band on Constitution Hill imgc9318 Horseback saxophone - the hardest job in music imgc9320 A bugler on horseback imgc9321 The Royal standard imgc9322 The marching band heads off past Buckingham Palace imgc9326 The scenic desert of Paddington after a bit of snow imgc9327 Hyde Park and The Serpentine imgc9329 The Serpentine is quiet imgc9330 A snowy Hyde Park imgp9835 A layer of snow on the office window imgp9838 The first heavy snow appears imgp9842 Icicles on the shed imgp9862 Boris - stripey cat - looks unimpressed imgp9863 The boys are in the garden imgp9870 Rectory Road in Brome is all snowy imgp9871 Outside the Oaksmere after a night of snow imgp9873 An intrepid cyclist heads towards Eye imgp9874 Harry plays in the garden
