More of the same...

It's true, it is enough - already - with the big freeze and repeated snowfall.  Scuppers plans and puts some aspects of life on hold.  Couldn't believe it earlier, when - sitting typing by a window - I blinked and missed the micro sleet baubles that fell and carpeted the ground... in front of me.  Never seen anything quite like it - as if someone had spilt polystyrene packaging-protection, all over the ground.

Then, an hour ago, the snow started to fall - again! It's as thick as you see, above, in that short space of time.  Just hearing - on local radio - that 10cm are forecast for tomorrow (20 cm on higher ground) with Mayor, Boris, saying there is enough grit to cover it.  But... they NEVER grit here - grrr!

There is a bonus, currently, (even if I have had to put plans on hold) - the light is just beautiful!

Snow Progress

One week on from my last (home) snow pic and the white stuff continues to fall. Witness my garden, first thing this morning. Pretty-ish, perhaps, but the country is at even more of a standstill, today.

Helpfully, the delightful (ahem) Right Honorable Lord Adonis (UK Secretary of State for Transport) has decreed that gritting must be halted (or at least reduced by half) and that side roads will not receive any grit or salt (they never have here!).

Makes sense, huh, to reserve supplies until we need them (ahem again, what constitutes needing them?) and why not strand people in their homes if they happen to live in a side, rather than main, road?!
