I hate this bit.

When we woke up this morning we had a very attractive little blanket of snow. I t was not very deep but it was enough to look like it had snowed.

Now it is thawing and everything is wet and dripping. It is horrible now.

Thing with snow that lasts longer than 2 minutes is you suddenly realize how many dogs live in your area :-D :-D

Hope it doesn't get icy Sharron

You realize that white ducks are yellow too and don't white animals look dirty?

But a black dog suddenly is easy to see!

Still snowing here, a bit.

It was white here up on the hill yesterday - but just wet in town.
They gritted the road around here at 9:30 yesterday morning - I was waiting for the bus to get to work.
Yes, I was an hour late for work, but wanted to see if the 8:30 bus went past!

Coming home from work yesterday,(an our early) there was a bit of sleet, which melted in town, but was laying up here, and it probably snowed in the night.
The result is - it's still white - but it's frozen snow :-(
The road is an ice rink.
No buses, and very few cars moving.
Certainly no gritter!

It just looks scabby round here.

It's the ice I hate, no matter how much salt they throw around I can always find the ice!

You probably wouldn't even class what we have had as a snowfall.

As a much younger person my Mother did fry ups in dripping ;-) <3

I once saw, on a pub menu, 'Profiteroles with cream, ice-cream and dripping with chocolate sauce.'

So did we - and have dripping on toast :-D

We'd spread it on bread cold, it tasted of the previous fry up :-D
