Impending Futuristic Armageddon

I don't know if you noticed but it's been snowing around London lately.  Not only has this caused 15 car crashes for every square mile, a queue for the Eurostar that stretches for nearly 4 miles, brought all air travel in and out of the UK to a standstill and curtailed my skating for the last week but it seems to have a pretty dramatic effect on light pollution too.

I guess having the floor of the city carpeted in white snow reflects all this amber streetlight back up onto the cloud cover and then is reflected back down and on and on, until it looks like the opening scenes of a 1950's Sci-Fi movie.  These shots were taken at quarter past midnight last night.
