We have snow. We'll, a very fine dusting which fell late afternoon. A mile or so away they have had a bit more, we must have been just on the edge.
It’s not very often I make a bad purchase but I’ve got 100 snow shovels to move on…some prat on the forum said we were in for a lot of snow. :cry:

We've had a big thaw over the weekend. On Friday one or two people had burst water pipes, luckily we survived and now it's a sweltering 5 degrees. I might cut the grass!!!

We had our boiler serviced on Thursday and the engineer said he had attended several emergency call-outs for burst pipes. He also said he had a go at his lawns…Barmy weather up your way Foxy, I had no idea he came from up your way. :) :wave:

Ironically we both love the snow and anticipated when we moved up here there would be plenty of the stuff. They've had more in Blackpool!!! Even the felltops look as though they only have a heavy frosting but not much sign of snow.

We had heavy snow last Sunday, and pavements and side roads have been like ice rinks ever since. We've had a bit of rain today. Hoping that more rain and an increase in temperatures overnight will clear the snow by tomorrow, as the snow has outstayed its welcome.

How nice to stroll out and not feel the cold. A bit damp and windy, but it was good to get out for a good walk.

We’ve got the same here, with the wind getting stronger by the hour…I haven’t walked the dog yet so I might let her loose with Betty and Doris as that tends to give her all the exercise she needs for the day :angel:

Balmy 15c here at the moment.
Just back from an energetic walk on the Tarka Trail.
It did lightly drizzle at one stage which was welcome.
