First Snow of the Year 16th January '13

Well it's here the snow they have been promising it started about 6am and continued through most of the morning with a good covering on the trees and ground!

Great thinks I, camera charged and ready to go we can go out this afternoon - but no the lovely white crispy snow is now more like slush and the temperatures are dropping (in some areas tonight -10!) so I will be happy with the few photos that the garden gave me this morning.

The dog is always bemused by snow and I am not sure that it is really right to sit down in it and just start cleaning or am I missing something?

We have more snow threatened for Friday and lots of it apparently, it is pretty and I do love it - when there is nothing that needs doing or when a daughter doesn't want to come home for the weekend, or youngest not wanting to go and look at the Universities.

I enjoyed the snow last year for about 2 days and then after that it was just annoying - I had taken the photos I wanted luckily as the roads around became treacherous and after a lovely 2 and half hour walk to our town and back in the biting wind and freezing conditions a hot chocolate and Brandy was thoroughly welcomed - well it would have been had we Brandy in the house!

Now I await the freeze and maybe then the sun will come back to us and cheer everyone up! Here's some colourful images for you in the meantime :)

Rosehips in the snow... I have been told look like "Peppermint Mash" although I don't know what that looks like but imagine very red and white!

How have you spent your day? Are you having to snuggle up in a blanket and watch all that daytime TV or have you been on mammoth walk? I certainly thought about it after lunch but then remember La Chasse was out today - not a good idea when Scooby doesn't really like guns banging! Have a good day/evening and stay warm and safe if you are in the snowy areas!

  1. You had more snow than we had Pam and it is all gone now, so I'm glad I got out this morning to walk the dog and take a few pics. Our chasse day is Thursday, but (and I think I'm right here) it is forbidden to hunt when snow is lying on the ground - unfair advantage to the hunter apparently!
