First Snow

We woke this morning to half-an-inch of snow which had managed to settle despite heavy rain last night.

It looked pretty in the early sunlight but the temperature had dropped below zero before morning so the ground was slippery, giving us the first opportunity to try out....

....our snow grips on a....

....short walk around the town followed by a last visit to the shops. Verdict on the snow grips: brilliant!

This is miserable weather for the birds. The first job after feeding them was to find my trusty geological hammer to break the ice on the bird baths. We were rewarded with some great entertainment from....

....the robins. Our poor garden robin now faces two incomers, the graveyard robin and a new robin, so he has spent most of the daylight hours chasing them. It can't last: he's going to be exhausted.
