    Outside my back door first thing this morning. A little pot of ‘Tête-a-tête’ bravely poking through the snow. :)

      Got some fine wet snow at the moment, grass and roofs have got a slight covering, but not roads or paths.

        Personally, I blame Putin for this lot,:biggrin: Although he'll probably deny it.

        Normally around now I'd be sorting things on the allotment and seed sowing, cant see the point at the moment, it was better in January.

          It's just started snowing here as well and we've now got a yellow weather warning. Hurry up Spring!

                Last night we had a dusting of snow. The snow then fluttered about on and off through the morning. The sun is out now and the snow has all gone. It’s very windy and has been through the night. I hate the wind more than anything else.

                  I can hear things banging about in the wind. It worries me. I don’t want to lose anything but at the same time I don’t want anything of mine damaging anything of my neighbours. That would be really bad. Lots of things in my garden just “kick” about. If I had a green house I would have somewhere to store the lighter stuff.

                      Well @Zigs I can confirm I am now living in the Arctic Circle. I haven't the faintest idea what the wind chill factor/"feels like" temperature is but it is seriously severe. I honestly think it would be dangerous to be out in this for any length of time. I was out feeding the horse for about 5 or 6 minutes and was completely blue by the time I got in. Never in all the years I have lived in Scotland can I remember having these continuing cold easterly winds. Hell I even specifically had the door to my greenhouse sited facing east as under normal circumstances all our prevailing winds come from a westerly direction.
                      I hope others are faring better in other parts. MK11 beast is truly living up to it's name up here anyway.
