Well they’ve finally done it, I guess they had to sooner or later, the weather forecasters got one right!
I know you might not believe me so I have photographic evidence to prove it. I’m always amazed at how much nicer everything can look under a clean new coating of snow, which is why you’re treated to a picture of my bin for shot 3. Click for larger images.
It’s still snowing slightly now, and some kids are even trying to sledge on the pavement out front, which I’ll admit seems strange to me as I grew up in the country and sledging wasn’t sledging unless you found the steepest hill around, preferably with some brambles/barbed wire/deep ditches at the bottom to ‘break your fall’ and used either a bin bag stuffed with hay or for one massively dangerous but fun filled winter a car bonnet! (don’t ask), but hey they seem to be having fun anyway.
yes… well observed. it did snow.
we got some too… but then a day or so later it rained and disappeared.
spare a thought for those in new york state, U.S. though… they got snow for 10 days and are buried under 12 feet of the stuff!
I was more exclaiming my surprise that what was forecast actually happened for once, and those snowed in do have my sympathies, …they also have my jealousy too, I used to love being snowed in as a child in the country and having to wander up to the nearest farm for milk (fresh from the cows ) and to be honest I’d have no serious problems being snowed in now I live in the city (as long as I can still get hold of milk and cider :P)
