I kept visiting other people's blogs and seeing photos of deep snow and commenting that we had only a sprinkling and feeling rather smug and cosy. Well I'm not feeling very smug now as we are now covered in the cold stuff.
A TV repair man arrived on foot on Monday. He had left his van on a nearby cleared road not wanting to risk our snow packed road as access to our house is quite steep. He ended up carrying our broken TV back to his van.
Fortunately for the birds a delivery of seed managed to get through this afternoon so at least the garden birds shouldn't run out of food.

I've braved the cold to take a few photos of the garden to share - although many were taken from a bedroom window. You may be able to spot our poor tree fern. If you click on the album you can view the larger version.
If you have visited Martyn's weather blog you will see that the snow may cause him to be in a bit of trouble if our mini cyclamen don't survive being piled with snow! Martyn also has a webcam pointing out of our window which updates the photo on his blog sidebar fairly frequently - a case of men and their toys eh?
I do hope it warms up soon as we are having all our heating replaced next week - four days without heating - HELP!! Keep warm everyone!

Hi Captain - They'll be no cuddles if the cyclamens die
ReplyDeleteI know Tanya I'll have to learn to keep my mouth shut!!!
I cant even imagine how weather like that feels! At worst our winters are 9C with night lows of 0-3c!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteKeep warm!!
Those are beautiful photos! We get some snow every other day, but then we get some rain after that. So it looks very muddy and gray outside now.
ReplyDeleteI hope we will have some serious snow soon.
I didn't think it would be long before you got your fair share. I do hope it warms up for you whilst you're without heating.
ReplyDelete-7.8C last night Phoebe wish I could imagine it being a bit warmer but at the moment it looks set for at least another week
ReplyDeleteYou can have some of our snow with pleasure Vrtlarica - it's dirty around the major roads but all the other roads are still white.
Hi Jo - I'm dreading next week realised that we won't have hot water either
Hi, I took the dog for a walk today in the fields near my house, the snow was over my welly boots. When I got home I measured my leg to the knee and it was 18 inches, that's the most snow I've seen in years. It's bitterly cold here tonight in Kent. Take care. Amanda x
ReplyDeleteThat is serious snow Amanda - we haven't got it quite as high as that. It is cold but the snow seems to be thawing a bit today. It's 1.8C at the moment a plus reading at last
