That looks much like my wife's drive to work only some of its been salted and hers has not. She took me over on Sunday to "help me appreciate what she has to put up with" sadly I forgot to take the camera :-( Mike |

Not to mention the grey damp mist or hill fog is very depressing, nice bit of snow and bright sunshine can't beat it. It can be a bit bracing if it's -8 and the wind is blowing, wind chill to -20 or lower, you don't spend long exposed to that if you can help it.

If it's 1 or 2 above freezing it tends to damp and misty that just saps any warmth from you, no matter how well you wrap up. Not to mention the grey damp mist or hill fog is very depressing, nice bit of snow and bright sunshine can't beat it.

Well, here we're pretty used to the foggy, low cloud, grey stuff. So the snow was - to me, at least, rather welcome. Today, it has rained without cease. I could just about see the fields beyond the Nursery from my study window which is on the first floor. British weather is swings and roundabouts really, I think. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon Perennials & shrubs online |
