Quite literally knee deep in snow! (or waist deep if you are only 2 yrs!)


where did our garden go?



Seat anyone?
Here are a few pictures taken at our house today. We have had almost continual snowfall since Saturday afternoon. Luckily it hasn't frozen much but the sheer depth of snow means we have not been able to move cars, or walk far for a few days now. Our shop was closed Monday as we could not get out and the past 2 days it's been over an hours walk in to get there. No let up in sight either!

It's maybe 1.5feet of snow on our decking, nearly up to back window, and despite cars and drive being cleared Monday and again Tuesday, these pics from today show them covered all over again. So far, so good though. Curtis is off nursery, one of us staying at home with him each day....a snow racing car, and snow xmas tree as well as snowman built to keep him amused, though he is happiest in the warm, as doesn't have much liking for wind, rain, snow....lucky boy being born in scotland then! Hope everyone else is coping okay in the weather - and no comment from you now Lee, we don't want to know how warm and toasty Sydney is the noo! :-)


Compare the snow from xmas day last year to this week in november. Now we cant even get on the decking and today the snow is as high as the bench behind Gareth in last years photo, and therefore just 2 inches from our dining room window!!! Its beautiful soft powdery snow though, light and fluffy....just praying we dont get the big icy freeze next.


Some people have still tried to drive down our street!! Many have had to be dug out, pushed, and heaps of cars abandoned.

1.5ft of snow on decking ....... quite tempted to just jump in it tomorrow!


Oops, we seem to have lost Gareth!

Snow covered after being completely cleared 24 hours earlier.
