How come the entire system collapsed this morning?

I don't think I've ever known it. Every single line had delays, mainly
serious delays, or in the case of the East London Line complete
failure.
Why? Well, according to 7222 1234, it was signal failure - I called
up as I
was stranded. Appeared to be loads of different signal failures.
Odd.
Then when I finally got to Canning Town by bus, after giving up
trying to go from Plaistow, it said on the board beside the gates
that most lines were down because of the bad weather.
OK so what was it? And if it is the weather, how come one inch (if
that) of
snow (that almost immediately melted) caused such chaos?
Took me two hours to get in this morning. Grrrr.
I am glad someone has mentioned the weather at last, and the chaos it
caused this morning, particularly on South Eastern. At London Bridge
where I unfortunately spent some considerable time, not only did the
indicator system go completely haywire, at least a dozen trains were
cancelled without a single word of advice or apology.
A complete shambles - we can only pray for global warming if this was
the best they could do!
No, the tracks bend out of shape when it's too warm :-)
