...at length.
I'm old enough to just about remember when we used to get a couple of days of heavy snow every winter. Peter Simon from TV's Blue Peter even came out to our vilage when I was 8 or 9 to do a piece about us ice skating on the fens.

That's as close as Bilbo would get to the snow. He's not a happy bunny at the moment. He just sits on the windowsill and growls at the snow.

Snowy garden, my tyre tracks are already filled in. It's only about an inch of snow, but I slipped and slided so much driving back (on gritted roads too) that I'll be on public transport tomorrow, if I go in at all.

Snowy street. The snow is really fine polystyrene balls now and it's making a hissing as it falls. It's quite eerie because it's really quiet out and everything sounds muffled.

Snowy tree which didn't come out very well.
They're forecasting up to 7 inches tonight. I doubt that'll actually happen and we'll actually get a freeze and miles upon mile of black ice. (See public transport comment above).
As lovely as it is, it had better all be gone by Wednesday, I have a evening class to get to and it's down loads of horrible twisty country roads that are all unlit. Woes.

It's lovely in my garden at the moment. I haven't seen this much snow in a long time.
