Lovely Weather We're Having

The last couple of days in the area have been very frosty. No really. See how white it all is? Frost.



Only, yesterday the snow kicked in as well. Now before you make mock, keep in mind that most of England doesn't get a lot of snow on a regular basis, and the South West very rarely. This is the second time in nearly 7 years I've seen a significant amount of snow on the ground. So I'm working from home. In fairness, I wandered out the front about half an hour ago and no one has even thought about trying to get their car out. Not from my road, anyway.

I'd say I was staying safe, except that I slipped on the stairs earlier and fell down. No major damage, but I've definitely jarred my back a bit. Flatmate's second response was, "Are you OK?" Her first response was, "Well that was clever." Funnily enough she got told to fuck off.

Ooooh, spot who's in a bit of a mood.

Anyway. Here is my back garden as of 8.30 this morning.

I grew up near the coast in NZ. I vividly remember the time it snowed up on the Peak when I was 4. This whole 'icy roads' thing is NOT COOL.

The other day I had ice crystals forming on the inside of my windscreen. What is that all about?
