my area missed out on big snow fall. The grass can still be seen poking through. I'm sure the north of N Ireland had a lot of snow

Deep snowcover in the Vosges. 40/50cm on the ground by -10°C air temperature this morning. This could well last 'till late april next year if the winter turns good.
Plants now are safe and warm under the snow.

Most unusual for us here in the south of Ireland, we had snow yesterday. I cannot remember having snow so early in the year previously. Naturally, one runs out to capture such events with the camera and here is one for you.

No snow but hoarfrost and - 3 ° C.
 - very cold for southerners!  ;)

November???????????????? We too have had about an inch of snow here in the English East Midlands but, more surprisingly, it got to -9 C last night which must be close to a winter record around here and is close to the all time low I've been aware of here in 15 years of -11 C, but that was in Februarty when you'd expect it. It's noon now and a balmy -5

At 8 a.m. this morning we had 6" of snow lying. The BBC had cameras just outside Dunblane (that's Perthshire, by the way, not Stirlingshire. Clearly the reporter failed her geography) showing chaos on the A9. No gritters out! ::) ::) The road through Dunblane is the same. We have since had another 8" of snow! The Hydro (Doubletree, by Hilton, Dunblane Hydro to be correct) snowplough has run out of diesel; I'm not surprised! (who said British workforce + British management = failure; British workforce plus Japanese management = success? I sure there's an analogy there somewhere?), so the guests are stuck. The local nursing home has no management in, so the staff are running round like headless chickens (I wonder if one is called Mike?) not knowing if the next shift will make it in. My children are sledging down the Hydro lawn. It's still snowing. :o

Only a dusting of snow in Lancashire so far, but the icicles are pretty.   A clutch of images captured this morning in Healey Dell, our local beauty spot.
The final images are of autumn leaves trapped in frozen waterfalls ...
