We had 3 cm of snow. The sun came out. I cleared the drive. The sky darkened. Snow fell and covered the drive in a fine layer. The sun is out again now. Repeat.

I think there are 3 ways of measuring the seasons: ''meteorological'' spring starts on the 1st of March, ''astronomical'' spring starts on the 20th, in line with the equinox. Then there's the 3rd way, and the one which I favour: spring starts when it feels like spring.

I have a fourth way, when I feel a spring in my step.

My kids’ school closed at 1 PM today. For goodness sake, we’ve only had 3 cm of snow!

We may have to send the army in to get you out in time for Saturday.

I'll see what happens. We're not likely to make it to work but I could poss get to a main road (eventually). Having said that I've seen pics of the M20 in Kent. Not good.

But you will be coming down the M2.

Well, the snow finally arrived here. All 2cm of it. Lexi's been out a few times, but Poppy flatly declined the offer.

I swept the path three times in between snow showers. It's fine in the shade, but where the sun's hit it, it's gone to sheet ice. While I'd really love having my own curling rink, it's not in the most practical of places, so I have spread ash on the slippy bits so's I don't go arse over tit.

The porch and the car are wearing some rather fetching icicles.

All the motorways from Cambridge on the M11 are fine according to the AA are good including the M20.

Just seen that skolly is now posting about his off in the commuter thread, didn't mention him by name at the time as I wasn't sure how bad he was or if he wanted it posting on here.

My new wellies are officially too short
I got snow down them. And I dropped a fat ball which just disappeared into fluffy coldness. My hand only took 10 minutes to recover

Been up the West end this afternoon, and decided to have a walk over the Heath on the way home, bliss!....
