Default Ping Sacha: snow in the far east

Yesterday we had snow in Jersey[1] and it settled for a time. However, it
was on the other side of the tunnel so could safely be ignored. Don't
know if donkey-land got any though.

[1] That's twice in two winters - whatever next? frost?


That is astonishing! My poor son will have been affected on the 'other
side of the tunnel' in Grouville! I'll check with 'donkey land'!
I don't think I ever recall snow in Jersey before Christmas and isn't
this now the third year in a row for having snow? It used to be about
once every five years, if that. We arrived for a grand daughter's
christening in late March nearly three years ago and were warned to be
very careful getting off the plane. The tarmac was absolutely white and
like a skating rink. It looks almost as if it could snow here today
and we've had that sort of rain that's trying to be slee. It's pouring
and blowing at present and the greenhouse team are in full waterproofs
if they have to go outside at all. It really is vile with a grey,
lowering sky and the horion is misted out. I wouldn't be surprised if
it's snowing up on the moor.
