Winter's first snow arrived yesterday evening, furtively, so it gave me a surprise when I went out of the front door just after ten to see if any of the Leonid meteorites were visible which, obviously, they weren't.
By morning the snow was much more serious, with an inch already settled and more arriving, often in big flakes, though....
....the occasional break in the cloud allowed us to watch the sunrise over the snowy rooftops.
As always, the birds are having a hard time of it, any scattered seed being quickly covered by further flurries of snow.
To our surprise, just before we set out for the shops a gritter came along our road, probably because....
....they had been working all night so roads like the A9 were clear.
By midday we had snow to two inches depth in the places where it wasn't thawing and the prospect of more throughout the rest of today and into tomorrow.
