Loads of families going past with little kids on sleds etc. Perfect snow for snowball fights and making snowmen.

Its snowing quite hard here this morning, not sure it will last as rain is predicted later.  Hopefully it will stay cold and continue to snow.

Only reason I have to go outside is to get a bit more wood from the woodstore.

Fortunately we are fairly well stocked up, and like Techno there is always "beans on toast" which is one of my favourites

We have a good blanket of snow. Starting to melt a little bit in the sun, but still good and thick.

It seems to be thawing, a bit, now......and the road outside has now got a couple of clear 'tracks' to the 'tarmac'.

Been snowing/sleeting on and off for a good proportion of the day.
I've decided against trying to shovel any off the drive.....That usually seems to make it worse, if/when , it freezes overnight. (And my back would moan like hack, anyway.)  ;)

Cheers - Phil. :)

No snow up here in the very north of Merseyside. Grey - but able to get out for another cycle ride this afternoon. Still not fancying getting back to early morning ones as there is still quite a bit of ice around early on.

Going slushy round here now, Probably freeze overnight and make roads treacherous. Good job I am working from home

We had 'thunder snow' at one point.  :)

I think that's the third time I've encountered that since we've been here.

Its not the snow, its the "to Dunstable".

Don't think we've had any further snow......The little that thawed yesterday has frozen.

When the dogs went out yesterday they were leaving tracks.....This morning ?......They haven't made a dent in any of it.

I've almost certainly got the joy of walking into the village later  X_X.....(A few provisions, and post something up to Pendraken Towers)...The road itself might not be too bad later, but if I actually manage to get the car out, onto the road......I doubt I'll be able to get it back up the drive again. =)
