Before and after the snow arrived

  1. Looks so pretty. This comes from someone who doesn't get snow where she lives. Just once I'd love to experience that where I live. I'm told it has happened 4 or 5 times in the past 40 years so not often. Thanks for sharing.

    1. It is pretty whilst it is white and clean, Kathie but not so much when it is dirty and melting.

      I causes lots of problems too so it's good to not have to go anywhere.

  2. Went over to the allotment this morning to empty some kitchen waste into the daleks.Took my camera to catch some photos of the plot in snow and bright sunshine,only to find that the battery was flat!

  3. What a difference. We've got quite a bit of snow, all the local schools were closed today. It's still snowing now and more to come. I'm glad I don't have to go out in it.

    1. Me too, Jo. It makes me smile as when I was teaching we never closed school even when snow was climbing up the windows and the rules were that teachers had to turn up even if the schools did close. If we couldn't get to our own school we had to turn up at the nearest local school and help there. We used to take the children out for a extended playtime to make snowballs and snowmen. I often has to set off early to walk the 8 miles up to my knees nearly in snow to get to school on time and Martyn would walk further on into Wakefield to work. Nowadays health and safety and fear of litigation has changed all the rules.

  4. Both before and after are pretty, but I don't envy the after. It's much nicer to see it from afar as I have been enjoying for the past week. The local peaks are covered with snow right now and I can see them from home while it is just damp from some welcome rain here.

    1. You are right, Michelle snow is best viewed from a distance. It's been a while since we have had this much snow and it has stuck around.

  6. Well, I love snow - which is a good thing since there's usually not a shortage around here. It's been a warm February but we are expecting the temps to go down again and a good 15cm of snow is expected tomorrow night.

  8. And now we wait for Storm Emma to bring in more from the south! We do seem all or nothing with our snow, don't we? Pretty when fresh and pristine, but ugly and messy after a while.

    1. I do much prefer the nothing, Deborah - I am guessing the flowers will have been ruined.

  9. Such a difference in light and colour. I love those Hellebores. Is that carrot seedlings already growing?

    1. No, Julieanne the shoots are anemone de Caen that I hope will survive being covered in a pile of snow
