I've been out for a play ! Yes I know that I'm as daft as a bag full of the wrong size spanners but it was fun! 
Hard work and wet ! I only did a couple of miles, but it felt more like 10. I took a mountain bike, swapped a wheel for a bald one on the front and set off. The snow must be 6 inches in places and I decided to go on the untouched stuff which was fine but you could feel the tread on the edges of the tyres acting like a cog. I found that vey useful coming back down a hill as it acted as a brake.
I fell off once!
I was climbing up a long steep farm track with a blizzard blowing against my side. Each time I tried to set off I started to wobble to one side. It was one of those moments when my front wheel dug in and over I went into 6 inches of soft snow! I chuckled to myself and then found my leg was trapped under the rear wheel. A bit of repositioning and I was back up wobbling along up the hill . It was like learning to ride a bike all over again !
The snow is still coming down hard .
I might take my toboggan out !

Drivers are making no preparations for snow then are moaning when they get stuck.

Quite used to it. Maybe not used to it so much as prepared and acclimatized to the extremes of weather, often shifting at a moments' notice. A good grounding in tractor seat meteorology has stood me in good stead.

I wound up with just an inch of snow, instead of the 3 or 4 projected.

It is thawing ! 
It has stopped snowing and the snow is melting rapidly.
The kids were out playing in the snow for hours and have made 2 huge snow balls by rolling them around. I saw two youg girls trying to move one so I went along to give them a hand . It was all I could do to get it to move. We gave up as I didn't want it to roll on to them.

We've had a couple of millimetres of snow today. It's funny listening to people outside. From what they say, you'd think we lived in the Artic Circle. People are so strange.

Gah, I really *HATE* dreams that are so vivid that they seem to replace reality. Been feeling really aaaaaaargh all day as a result. That sort of thing really messes with your head. 
Went to Littleport to run some errands, then had a spot of lunch. I have spent the afternoon working on the LH 90B and planning a couple more art projects. I am updating a scrapbook - the paintings and drawings I did for it when in my teens doesn't look quite so good now.
We had no snow to speak of. But then I'm probably the furthest north and east of us Cambridgeshire mundaners.
My right knee is not enjoying the cold and damp.
I am thinking about a nice
