It started here about 4.15 this afternoon. Quite a novelty to see it
coming down so thickly. Then it stopped and has started to melt.
Still time for more though and maybe with a night-time drop in temps,
it might even stick. Pics of the house in snow will look fabulous
Sacha - especially from the bottom of the garden.

Childishly, I'm really hoping the heavens open, though right now it's very
clear and cold. I've asked everyone to keep clear of the big lawn so that I
can go down one of the side paths to the very bottom of the garden and come
up to it that way, leaving a pristine surface. That said, we probably won't
get one more flake! ;-)
Any losses in your garden, David, or has everything come through intact?
Those Acacias at the front of the house whose name I always forget, is
looking very, very sad but touching wood, so far, so good for pretty much
everything else. The snowdrops are racing to the surface and we've even got
a couple of daffs open on the drive.
