Snow ... Snow ... Snow ...

And so it continues - snow isn't something we are that used to in our part of England - not for the past 10 to 15 years anyway - so the last week has been something of a surprise to us. Needless to say some of the "younger" generation are finding things hard going ... they don't know how to drive in snow & ice so that has been somewhat entertaining to us who remember the days before central heating when you had to scrape the frost off the inside of your bedroom windows in the mornings!

(Here's a shot showing snow on the main road to Newmarket on Friday morning.)



We went into Cambridge for breakfast this morning and most of the snow there had melted - although the pavements had not been treated so most of our running routes around the river area are definitely "no-go" areas for the moment.
(This is the view across the fields at the back of our house - snowboarding anyone?)


Here at the heady altitude of 365 feet ASL we still have snow ... are more is forecast ... Oh Joy!
(And this is the wood at the bottom of our garden)

We'll take your snow! We were in the mountains for the weekend and they've had quite a thaw. All the roads are dry and the snow is m..e..l..t..i..n..g.
