Well, the snow is here again. Last week we had a day where the BBC had promised us "100%" chance of snow in the middle of the day, and that turned into ten minutes of flakes at about 5pm, so I wasn't too convinced by the forecasts last night. But here it is. It's settled and still snowing, pretty as a picture, and has been since about 8.20am apparently. And the road outside my house is slowly getting backed up with traffic, probably from the hill nearby. I thought people were supposed to be staying in for lockdown, never mind snow, but here we are. My parents keep up with our online local community page, and the posts are about 70% people warning about which roads are blocked or asking for help getting somewhere, and about 30% saying that sledges are just however much at a local supermarket right now. Which tells you a lot, I think.

There's a little banking of trees near where I live, and they're just covered with white, and the phone lines between houses are just like pretty white ropes now. People are trying shovel snow off their driveways and cars, and then they go in and it builds back up in about half an hour.

Aw, I want snow too! :D Especially when it is so picturesque and you can just relax inside your home and enjoy it piling up. :)

That's crazy that people are going out at the moment, as I always tend to avoid driving in snow whenever possible in general just for safety's sake. 0_0;

Haha, I have done the repeated snow shoveling on occasion too! I always seem to think it will be more effective than it truly ends up being. XD

We got snow, too! Snow that actually remained on the ground for a bit. We didn't have that in years. Which meant it was actually fun despite me not liking snow at all. :D
