Sunday we ‘enjoyed’ the biggest dump of snow this winter in our little corner of England, it delivered more snow than the now infamous Beast from the East…..but being honest we have seen much worse over the years. Yep, I guess we have come off rather lightly.
So Sunday was snowy but also damp and very grey, not a hint of sunshine…
Temperatures were below zero at -4C but that felt even colder with a wind chill of – 5c….. so -9c is damn cold for us That wind did prevent the Lake from freezing so I suppose that is some consolation.
Today Monday much of the snow has gone but has left a legacy of thick ice on the roads. Sunshine is promised for times today and temperatures are due to rise over the week. With Spring due to start tomorrow it would be nice to say goodbye to winter weather.

Ah, you’ve got yourself a touch of winter today? You need to send a message to your Gods and explain that this is the time for spring! (But may be they’ve frozen solid up there?) A left over New Year rocket perhaps will do the trick? 🙂

Honour Frigga, Freya and Idun! As wel as wel honour Eostre, or Ostara (this week on the 20th!). Together it should help, don’t you think? Throw in Persephone as she used to be the Spring Goddess in Greece. :))
I hope they will hurry, as I found out today that the flu has not gone away at all. Very tired of the coughing and sneezing and feeling horrible. Please SPring gods and goddesses, hurry up? 😉

Clear skies now and the temperature has dropped so a cold night ahead. With the snow virtually gone and leaving a wet surface I guess its ice tomorrow.

Wonderful snowy images, David. Hope it’s getting warmer now that Spring is officialy here (or over there). Yesterday I basked in 39C that’s over 100F !!!! So we should send a bit of weather to each other and it would be pleasant all round 🙂
