It's snow joke

Even though it started snowing yesterday I was still half expecting to wake up this morning to find that most of the snow had gone and we were left with a few slushy remanents.

Yeah, got that wrong didn't I?

Far from disappearing there was lots of the stuff. As this photo from my bedroom window can atest too

and it hasn't really stopped snowing since. By early afternoon the Cars were doing very good impressions of large piles of snow. This photo shows just how deep the show was lying at this point. The snow on my car was lying as deep as my hand and yet it was still snowing!

As our road is a 'close' I was expecting the snow to drift a little bit but it got so deep that the kerb disappeared from view by late morning.

Still if you can say one thing about the snow it did make the estate look very peaceful and serene

This is the view alongside our house.

and this is the view looking the otherway.

I have to admit I was glad not to have to go into work today because as long term readers know driving in snow/icy conditions are my least favourite driving conditions.

Tap Dance started her new job today although it took her nearly 50 minutes to travel three miles on the way in and she then got sent home early as the snow was still falling.

Owen on the other hand thought all this snow was great and was having a wail of a time when he went out for his walks charging everywhere in the snow launching great clouds of it into the air when he jumped everyone.

However the snow was even heavier down south with motorways, the underground in London and even the buses grinding to a complete halt. Of course some people are incredibily confused how everything fell apart with snowfall only measured in centimetres. Including a church member over here from Canada cackling away on his facebook page about funny he thinks it is that everything stopped due to several cm of snow. However this is the most snowfall the country has seen since 1991 so i think it's probably more down to people not having experience on how to deal with snow unlike people who live in countries that have to deal with snowfall measured in feet on a regular basis.

anyway,

Later folks!
