It's snowing!

I appreciate this isn't exactly a novelty for most of you, but here in Dorset we see snow about once a decade.

It's now up to a massive 3mm in depth!

(so now you can all tell me about how it reaches six foot drifts where you live...)

We haven't really had snow but we have had spectacular frost, everywhere is picture postcard white and we get slow drifting down of frozen mist occasionaly. It's very picturesque. I took Max into the woods to take his 'photo, hope they come out okay.

I went shopping then on a nice long walk round Carey Park to Carden Ferry Footbridge and then up to the Anderton Boat Lift. http://www.brunnermond.com/healsaft/2004/comm.htm

A nice wintery afternoon walk after the debauchery of the last few days.

We don't get much depth of snow around here, I think it's a sheltered spot, ten miles south and they'll have drifts and ten miles East the Peak District will be in total whiteout but not in this immediate area, The worst I can remember we got drifts a whole two feet deep against the hedges but it averaged 4" deep anywhere else.

By the way, how can you measure 3 millimetres of snow? I would have thought ground irregularity would have been more than that.

We thought it was going to be an ordinary Christmas with pictures of snow everywhere else in the country on TV and none here.

It snowed once at the end of November, then the weather turned very mild until this week. We've had a heavy frost the last couple of days, but that's all so far.

Not six foot yet, but we've had about eight inches of the horrible evil stuff since lunchtime today.

We've got a bit more than you, and I'm expecting it to snow again tonight. The fog's what's really getting to me at the moment though.
