We have had the snow that most of the country has had - when I last measured the depth with a metal rule it was 9" deep. It has been very cold but not as cold as Scotland has had it, and I don't like it -can it all go away soon - please? The icicles that have formed from the gutters on the conservatory are amazing! sooooo long! Our conservatory is heated by a radiator on the house wall and the roof above gets warm - so the snow has melted there and the melt water has run down and icicles have grown and grown and grown! it has looked very pretty but I have now had enough of it!
My grandaughter wanted to borrow my car to day so I told her that she would have to dig it off the drive first - so she and her Mum and Auntie did just that - I had already cleared enough snow of the drive to enable them to get to the car........well I had to get out to post birthday cards for friends and rellies and didn't want to fall over before I had begun my adventure to the post box at the end of the road.....!
I don't know if we had fairies in the garden early in the morning when this picture was taken or if it was just the reflection of the flash on snow flakes, but as you cansee the snow was quite deep at this early hour and it continued snowing all day! How my sister in law who lives in Montreal Canada cope's with snow for nearly 6 months of the year I don't know - I don't think I could.
I know that the children have all been having loads of fun, building snowmen, making snow angels, toboganing down slopes in the park and helping Dad making an igoloo because they have had time off school - but yesterday they had to go back to their classrooms. I believe that every school in our town was closed.
