Nothing up here as yet, luckily.

Had wall to wall sunshine in mid Devon for two days. Got another two long term temporary doors made. Hope to hang them today.

Lovely sunny day so far in Hampshire but we had a frost last night.
Might have a snow flurry tomorrow??

Yesterday had a flock of very striking Redwings eating the berries followed by a group of Long Tailed T*ts at my feeders.

I had to go to a funeral yesterday and on the way to the cemetery it started to hail, which, thankfully, stopped by the time we got there. But it was absolutely FREEZING cold, not helped by an icy wind. A newly opened woodland burial ground overlooking Poole Harbour - a beautiful spot with the graves on a gentle slope overlooking the harbour, but very open (no trees planted yet) and it felt like the Russian steppes there yesterday. The weather certainly added some gravitas to an already sombre occasion.

Snowed overnight last night Roger, about what Doug showed, and has been steadily the same all day but warmed up a little so not settling. Apparently it's due to dump on us tomorrow so let's see...

Not a good sign its just started snowing & it’s settled straight away. The yard was clear when I got up & there’s now twice the amount since I took the photo with the flakes getting bigger :? :?

Hopefully the forecasters are wrong with the predictions of 9” of snow but looking at the sky doesn’t fill me with confidence :eusa-think:

I used the window frame for support Malc and I use Tapatalk for accessing the forum and uploading photos Richard - so very easy.
Forecast turned correctly so far, strong winds and rain - we’ve already had one brief power cut and Amazon have mailed to say my delivery is delayed due to bad weather!
