As I write this, we're under 2 feet of snow in Hoylake Close. The path and the drive have decided that they will merge with the road, and the backgarden seems to be one level.
I can't remember a time when we had as much snow as this. It started out as quite festive and pretty but by yesterday it was more than a little irritating. The biggest irritant is the people who feel the need to clear their drives by digging out the snow and piling it onto the path on either side of the drive, which means that you have to climb a little mountain every time you cross one of these paths. I've been so tempted to return to the scene of the crime in each case with a snow blower just to negate all their efforts.
It does make me laugh every time we get snow with how much the country shuts down. I've seen buses stuck in snow this week, with the drivers revving their engines trying to get out. If we'd got snow in June, I would have some sympathy and understanding, but we now we have a temperate climate and that we have every chance of getting a decent snowfall every winter (OK, technically it's still autumn, but you know what I mean).
The weather forecast here in East Yorkshire is for sub zero temperatures today followed by more snow tonight and clear but cold over the weekend. We get more of the white stuff on Monday and another clear and cold day on Tuesday. Sounds like a fun few days ahead.
