Default Beautiful day!

I was in my local early Thursday evening and someone came in saying it
had started to snow. Like excited children, several (of us) went
outside to witness the event, but after a few flakes it stopped and
that was that. Cold here in TQY and sunny by day with overnight lows
in the -1 to -2C region, so nothing compared to what is going on
further east and north. A white Christmas might be nice, but I have
to do the 200-odd mile drive north towards the end of the week, so I'm
in two minds about the prospect.


We've had some ice here and there on paths, just enough to make us wary
when walking around the place and the lawns are very 'crisp', if not at
all even! I can't imagine how you got snow so close to the sea and we
didn't. I still hope for a little snow for Christmas but not enough
to stop us flying to Jersey just after the Day.
