I was lying in bed about 5.0am a couple of mornings ago when there was
an almighty noise, I looked out of the window to see a sheet of snow
falling past. Later in the morning the same thing happened but on the
North side of the house.
Now that the snow has started to melt I can see that my wallflowers,
which are in pots along the North wall of the property, and the sweet
williams by the South wall have been damaged. The wallflowers
particularly are in a sorry state, many broken.
I have never experienced a roof avalanche of snow before.

Remember the early bird may catch the worm but the second mouse gets the
cheese.
