Dawn this morning........

I just love a snow covered garden...................

Oh dear, Maureen :o((( How horrible for you . I hope it clears soon. I find it sooo depressing sorry ....

Oh Hywel ... it's lovely ! I like it more since I stopped working , I do feel sorry for anyone travelling ...

I agree with Amy, it's lovely to look out at from inside a cosy, warm house, but go out in it......no thanks !! :~)

Hywel so do i, like to see it on photos but dont like it, so glad we dont get snow very often.

Well I find it depressing. Sorry to disagree with some people, but there you are
:o(((
I don't even like it on photos. I think it's horrible.

oh i love it hywel, im a big kid, but none here ;o(

ooh - hasn't got to us yet Milky, but forecast for overnight & the weekend, though very very cold.

You've had so much snow Maureen - keep it in Essex I say.
I dont mind the snow but hate to drive in it. Its usually us a bit further up north that get it, poor you.

Thanks all....but I agree with Hywel...I dont like it I HATE the cold.....I wont go out in it if I dont have too. I even made SP take the girls to school today.....

We're certainly suffering now for the mild Autumn :-(

Much the same here Milky. Tried three didderent routes to get to work and only succeded on the third.

Doesnt seem to be any gritting done does there...Even though we were warned it was coming.....My son has to do a 20 minute car journey and today it took him 2 hours......

Still no snow here, so far. -8 at 8am this morning though, brrrr

It makes a nice picture, we have had snow here today in Lancashire -4 and very icy, poor birds have been fantically rooting about trying to find food, But I have topped up all the feeders and thrown handfuls of food amonst the bushes.

Is your pond frozen, Milky? Like Sanbaz I love the snow too and love to walk when its 'deep and crisp and even' :)

Hope all those who don't like it are blessed with milder weather though :)

you had me singing then Gee, with then words to a famous xmas song lol

Gritting is for wimps Milky. That's why councils don't do it anymore; or is it because they are scared of being sued if someone has an accident after somewhere has been gritted? Another example of health and safety and stupidity gone mad. Whatever happend to common sense?

i see, its that's what its all about, I thought the councils were just cutting costs. Crazy times.

maybe they think someone will trip over a piece of grit toto :o))

Of course Sandra, that must be it, lol.

lol :o))

It looks lovely Milky ..

Gee...the pond is frozen, just one little patch not that is under the waterfall....and yes everyone it does look lovely..........from inside the house ha ha ......

I love snowy photos, love to go out in it as long as I am well wrapped up and wearing suitable boots, everywhere looks so magical, when it snows at Christmas it makes my Christmas (and the grandchildren's ) hate it when it is slushy and dirty, nothing more beautiful than sitting by a real log fire eating crumpets, teacakes, and watching the snow fall,
It would not do for us all to be the same would it?

I just watch from inside thanks Dotty. Yes it does look lovely and Christmassy, but I just cant be doing with the cold.....

I thinkit luvley that so many havso many view no same, yet it stil snow - praps hte magic of xmas is lik hte crunch snow undrefoot,or hte biter wind htat burn hte cheek,or hte htrobin icy hand in frontof fire,or hte shuder shiver on enter door an the waftin smell of roastid pasmips wiht hintof mulled wine cookin by hte crakel of log firee- all you can lik or not,yet if one is miss then xmas is a litle less for others.

Very true Derekf....Together they all make Christmas...Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family.....

Milky you may already know, but if you put a ball in the pond over winter when it freeze's you just take the ball out rather than shatter the ice which can sometimes kill the fish.....:o))

Thanks Mushy, but its not totally frozen and now its thawing well thank goodness...

I love snow and this is what my garden looks like at the moment.
'Wow', A White Christmas, I havn't seen one for well over fifty five years.
