This afternoon when we walked around the garden, there were green tracks
across the lawn, and just patches of snow and ice here and there. Now we
have a complete cover of snow again :-)

Here in Leyburn the lawn has not been seen since the week before
Christmas. A particularly heavy snow fall yesterday between 3 and
4 pm has covered the trees again and caused chaos in town.

for the view from my window.

That could have been us before Christmas ;-)

Our snow started on, I think, 16th December, rapidly got up to 6 inches
thick, then started melting very slowly on Christmas Eve. We're now back
to complete cover, but only about half an inch thick except where
there's still ice underneath. Still good enough for the sledges to be
out in force on the park opposite

Lots of cat footprints on the pond.

We had it thick for a week or so then it cleared completely. Last
night we had a thin dusting of snow which this morning had turned in
to a really strange frost that crackled really loud as you walked on
it, and I mean really loud.

I thought cats were clever

Well, I suppose they are in some sense. They've been walking on the pond
for 3 weeks to drink from the small unfrozen area where the water is
moving (pond water is so much more interesting than tap water) and not
one of them has yet fallen in.

3 members of my family have just driven from Gloucestershire to Edinburgh in
about 6/7 hours with no trouble at all on the road, the only serious ice
that they encountered was in the road outside their house :-)
