Now It Really Is Winter

[poliphilo]

There was frost on the ground this morning and the water in the birdbath was frozen but not the much larger volume of water in the butt the horses drink from (I learned some basic science there.) And now it's the middle of the day and although the cloud cover is light and almost letting the sun through- it's begun to snow- not heavily, just a few flakes jigging.

That much further north here so we've been getting hard frosts for some days now- we also quite high up which adds to it.

Still no snow though although the 's' word is being mentioned on the local forecasts.

It has felt like snow was due for a few days now. I keep looking at the sky and thinking, "Surely that's got snow in it". Today, though the cloud cover was very light, it finally arrived.
