Dogs? My 5yr old daughter spent the morning trying to eat snow too. Wanted a cup of it with her breakfast, then caught her licking the hedge later on.

I told her the lore of "never eat the yellow snow".

Cor for once London got some decent snow. Was a good few inches as Villian said, but wheres the picture of the snowman?

As for the roads, they didn;'t have any on this morning (8.30!!) and it was all gone by the afternoon. I had no plans to sail anyway but did have snowball fights all morning!!

didn't have my camera with me, but there was a fair bit of snow (not as much as those photos) in North London today, not many turned up to race.

Lancing Sailing Club at lunchtime today, just before a BIG snowball fight.

The enemies had to surrender. The Jackson girls beat 'em all, hehe!

 

 

And I was Race officer today. It was an easy duty !

It's sunny in Weymouth with not even a hint of the whitestuff. Not fair.

Even worse, just been told it's too breezy to hire a boat today. I'll just have to watch the Grand Prix instead.

Amazing,  T-shirts to  thermals  in a  matter of hours,  and the sailing  season is well under way.

Sarisbury Green,  just up from the River Hamble on the South Coast has just seen around 2" of the white stuff very quickly,  can't remember it like this since we have been down here in 15 years
