Snow in the UK!!!

[Hamish]

Many thanks for your concern, Brian. Yes, I awoke yesterday to find 5" or 6" of level snow had fallen overnight. This was the view from one of my bedroom windows in the West Wing of Bicknell Grange:



It continued snowing for most of the morning but I was able to venture outside in the afternoon to take these:





All the schools and many businesses around here were closed all day, and there was no public transport available.

Thank Goodness I am retired and do not have to go anywhere until the end of the week. Hibernation is the name of the game!

Take care,
Ham.

[PS: I was speaking with Derek's lovely wife, Elaine, at about 7.30pm on Monday and she told me it had just begun snowing there in South Wales.]

Hamish, what a fabulous looking snow covered neighborhood.

I was hoping that it would snow again soon, especially after the arrival of my What Price Glory Gordon, but when I tried it on and found it to be too big I hope we don’t have any snow until its return sometime next week.

Wow. That much snow would bring our area to a halt and cause mass evacuations!

Stay warm, safe and indoors. Don't panic unless you see woolly mammoths in the streets!
