"Off, Broadway"#

That's Hammersmith Broadway, to which we would have been taking the LFNS. But, sadly, we couldn't. We set out at 5pm or so to check the route again (mostly to be sure we remembered it) and by 5:30 Hans (this week's LM) was getting phone calls from other marshals to say it was sleeting in Waterloo, snowing in Marylebone, etc. All this time we hadn't had much more than a couple of raindrops anywhere we were (various places between Hyde Park and Hammersmith) until on the way up Kensington High St I realised I could see snowflakes falling in the light of oncoming car headlights. So, no LFNS. Boo hiss.

Total skating for the day: to work (which I wasn't even intending to do until I got to the tube station this morning and found the Central line was closed), route check (20km?), and back from pub to the office. Caught the last tube back from office to home, because it seemed like a good opportunity to rescue my shoes and a small pile of clothes that need washing.
