We have snow, but it is of the horrible wet variety that eventually covered the ground, but definitely not what could be described as deep and crisp and even. Yesterday evening’s dog walk was not enjoyable, with a strong cold wind blowing snow at us, which continued all evening, and by the time that we went to bed it was snowing really heavily, still blowing in a strong wind, but with the temperature only just below freezing it was barely settling.
By this morning there was a good covering, but only 2-3 cm deep, with green soggy patches around the field edges in the lee of hedges, where the snow had not settled. There were a few people sledging on the Hill this morning, but by the time we returned from a shopping trip to Fosse Park with Andree there were just a couple of sledgers left. With the cold wind, continuing snow flurries, and wet snow on the ground that no doubt soaked anyone who fell off the sledge, I suspect that sledging was not much fun.
It is snowing heavily again now, and settling. When will spring arrive?
Technically we live in Oaktree House, but sadly the tree had to go.
We now have a thriving Oakstump at the front of the house.
