Snow is pretty rare here - last time there was a lot of snow over almost the whole country there was a satellite picture which showed Britain looking like an iced biscuit - with us at the bottom edge as a tiny bit that got missed out.
It does get fairly cold - there are scraping frost off the car mornings - but they are rather early this year, so there is hope for a bit of snow.
I make snow Ruperts - remember Rupert the Bear? I used to get an annual at Christmas in the mid 1950s. Since moving to Poole, however I also make - if there is enough of a fall, a couple of dinosnows in front of the house - which faces North and so they last for ages if pressed hard enough to alter the snow to ice.
It must be fairly cold - I've brought out my big jumper.
I presume to dictate to no man what he shall eat or drink or wherewithal he shall be clothed."
