For us at least the forecast of lots of snow on Sunday didn't happen. We had plenty of rain, steady, rather than any heavy downpours amounting to 9.8mm. Late in the evening the rain did turn to wet snow and we did manage a covering. By Monday morning this had mostly disappeared but it still remains cold with temperatures just above freezing.
These snowdrops are almost out. They weren't photographed in our garden but up in the Yorkshire Dales at Horton in Ribblesdale on Saturday. Our garden snowdrops are a little bit behind these despite their more favoured location. I’m not sure snowdrops are any sign of early or late spring just a sign that spring is on the way.
Just for good measure we've had our gas turned off for the day as our supply network is upgraded. It’s hoped that it will be back on for 16:00 but it’s going to be pretty cold in the house by then. That will be 7 hours with no heating. The current outside temperature 2.5°C.

I hope you've got your thermals on. It would have made more sense to do the work in summer when the heating isn't needed. Not much snow here, thank goodness. I've just been out and had to scrape some off the car, but there's none on the ground now.
ReplyDeleteConditions are the same here Jo.
DeleteI couldn't agree more about doing the weather at a better time of year. You'd think they would at least give it a break in the winter months. It's not emergency work just upgrading the network. It's chaos in the street as there's an excavation at the end of everybody's drive so nowhere to park any cars.
