After days of dodging the snow except light scatterings, it has arrived here.  So far just a covering, but we have proper settling snow and fat falling snowflakes, rather than the tiny blow around kind that just pile up in corners.

It is very quiet on the roads for rush hour on a Thursday morning.

It hasn't been as cold overnight, staying at -4.5, and still the same now. It's not a nice snow day, though - yesterday was welcome sunshine, today's sky is dark as if there is a lot of rain up there - seems the 'wrong colour for snow' as my Mum used to say  ;)
All we are getting at the surface is a dusting of the light powdery stuff - so far!

Bit more than that here: this is my back garden this morning - about half way up I'm sure I remember there used to be a goldfish pond!  ::)

Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

Another couple of inches on top of Tuesday/Wednesday's 8 inches accompanied by a gale force bitter wind. Not been this bad for many years. Looks like we'll have to put up with yet more over weekend with no relief until next week

There's even white stuff falling from the sky here too!  Only about the third time in the 28 years I've been here that's happened.  It's very fine though and only laying on hard surfaces at the moment.  Very glad I have no reason to leave the house.

Amazing Snowdrops. Only 30 miles away but such different conditions.

Been snowing much of last night and today, mainly light but it has built to about 4 inches, with the squally bitter wind making it look as though it's snowing upwards at times! Happy first day of Spring!!!!

Not much fresh snow here today - had 3-4 inches on Tuesday. But drifting and -4c.....

Still we are a lot luckier than 25 miles north of here which has had a foot of snow in places.

Children home for day 3 tomorrow, but 1 school has put work online.
Walked around and told the neighbours that no bin collection and extra can get bagged up and I will tell you when they will come as not everyone has wifi.
Very cold so moved the hen house around to protect from the wind (it is on castors) and treated them to oats soaked in hot water.
