If it was 2 inches at 6.30am then they are going to be having lots of fun!! Maybe they should have taken their skis instead of running shoes!! Can't believe I was sitting out on the patio eating a lovely fruit salad in the beautiful sunshine on Friday afternoon after having done a bit of gardening!   Betty    Report

Luckily I had covered the emerging shoots of hostas and the small acer with the leaves nearly unfurled, a good 2 inches of snow has fallen here.(Berkshire) Pics later. www.quimperclub.org 99    Report
