The cat hasn't seen snow before in his 3 year life and went ballistic this morning, dashing up and down the road chasing imaginary somethings. He's been out since 5 am and is still bouncing around like a lunatic. Jake |

Jake Here overlooking Swansea we have had what looks like 6 to 8 inches, snow balances on every twig as there is no sign of any wind to cause it to drop to the ground. This is the heaviest snow I have seen at this time of year since I came to Wales over 20 years ago, an#d only one winter has had more snow, but with more forecast for later in the day................ Off out with the camera now. David Hill |

David Hill A very light dusting of snow here, just enough to make it pretty. * Apparently, the roads are a bit slippy but not too bad. *A friend in Torquay says it's much thicker there and about an hour ago was falling quite fast. *Here, we have sunshine and some blue sky but with clouds rolling up quickly, so we'll see what happens. *But it does look as if more is on the way! -- Sachawww.hillhousenursery.com South Devon- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Well I got out and took some pics, a quick burst of sunshine then it started to snow again, and we have now had another inch where I swept the steps.

I love the bamboo looking very exotic with its snow coat but the lanes and trees look magical. Thanks for sharing those. I'm just about to ring my Chepstow child to find out what it's like there. If it makes any differance too you, you can also copy to a folder address bar, rather than open the web browser. Saves a bit of time when you are doing this within a foder etc: Baz |

This one didn't stop at all, apart from sitting just inside the door wondering what to do for a minute or two. Then suddenly he bounced out and went charging across the front lawn, next door's lawn, the road, everyone's lawn. Jumping, rolling in it, chasing something I couldn't see. He's been out all day, just coming in for food and then back out again. Since he moved in he's been inquisitive. Has to explore anything new before going back to what's becoming his normal routine. We have to be careful if there's a delivery lorry in the street. He made it a few miles up the road before being discovered once. The field next door looks fairly "virginal" snow wise apart from his tracks - you can see paw marks with a large depression in between where he dragged his stomach through the snow. Mind you, haven't seen another cat all day! The rest must have more sense and be staying indoors in the warm. At least he should sleep well (and so should we!) tonight! That's if he comes in at all of course! |
