Well, last night another 5 or 6 inches of snow and so I thought you'd like to see some pics of not so sunnny North Lincolnshire . I don't think we can expect it to get any better for the next few days. (I love it!!)

We took these pictures this morning, we took Jess off the lead as we quickly realised there were no cars coming our way!

Gee I live in snowy New England, and we haven't gotten any yet- unusual to have nothing by the first day of December. But, I won't begrudge you the snow- you may keep it over there!

I'm jealous, why didn't we get that much snow??? We only got a light dusting.
What breed is Jess? She looks cute, under that winter coat!

We only had a light dusting as well, except we keep getting a new light dusting each night this week.

It clears off the roads during the day, hanging arround on grass and plants etc. Then overnight we get another light dusting over everything.

According to my mom Lyon is also buried in snow. They got something like 15-20cm tuesday afternoon/night, and with all the traffic the snowplows couldn't even do their job. My mom manged to get to work yesterday, only to have her boss send her home again!

Still adding to the totals daily here!

Jess is mostly whippet, we don't know for sure as she is a rescue dog. We have had her for four years now but she still bounds through the snow like a pup

Snowing here too, but thin powdery snow that doesn't accumulate very fast. The snow is nice though, everyone is in a very festive mood to celebrate Sinterklaas this weekend (and later this afternoon at work!) Sinterklaas= Saint Nicholas, and it's more popular than christmas, although xmas is gaining more and more ground (double presents for the kids!).

the snow really does look beautiful, guys.

by comparison, its about 24 deg C, rained all week, and is supposed to rain all next week too. So much for summer!
