Snow Day.

It snowed from late morning yesterday, but wet flakes that melted when they hit already wet ground. But around 7pm the temperature dropped below freezing and the wet ground began to freeze, providing a base for the still-falling snow.

So this was the view from our front porch at 7.30 this morning;






And this is the view from the back door;






As you can see from that last picture one of the local cats had already been out on patrol. So much for them not wanting to get their paws wet...!

It is not unusual for us to get snowfall in March, so I am not too worried about the plants, Barbie has already shaken her snow-shroud off by now, but my miniature daffodils have all been completely buried so I think they may well be broken when the snow thaws. There have already been a number of birds at the fatball feeder, which I filled yesterday - it is all very peaceful.

Oooh, that's a lot of snow! I'd have to be out there shoveling paths for Princess Pippin.

Yes - if we had still had Willow we would certainly have had to clear a path for her as it was deeper than the length of her wee legs.
