Almost 2 feet of snow here now and -10 with -20 forecast for later in the week.
To be honest it gets a little wearing after a while.

Some pictures of veiws from the house and garden yesterday. I have now given up trying to clear the path to the greenhouse.
Today was horrible, wind snow and now sleet.

Here's some pics taken through the windows. We did make it into Dunblane this morning, but on foot. The cars are going nowhere! The Victoria Hall (Early Bulb Show) is being prepared for stranded motorists tonight. My niece was staying with friends and had to leave her car. She made it to Dunblane but had to walk home to Kinbuck a couple or so miles north of the town. She got a lift the last bit with a farmer on a quad bike! Lucy's sunflower never opened!

I don't envy you your snow Fred. It's bad enough here. I have not been outside since Thursday. I do not think it a good idea to go out in the snow on crutches.
I got some picturesque shots on Thursday and some from the doorstep on Friday and Saturday. More snow today but the wind has blown it off the trees now.

Goodness, I'm glad our snow is only a small amount and not at all as heavy as you all have experienced. We managed to go for a walk today and I drove into town and out to collect my son at about 5.30p.m., a journey of about two miles each way and I managed it easily enough.
Trampled snow, when frozen, is dangerous for walkers and we found it a nuisance in town.

Wonderful pictures of snow - beautiful as long as you're cosy at home!!
Here it has been down to just below 0 ºC and nearly clear skies over the last few days, so we have been having frosts, though they disappear as soon the day warms up (up to 10 ºC today). There is snow forecast for some parts of the country this week, but not for my area, to the great disappointment of my children ...
No central heating, so the temp in my flat is around 7 ºC

Chloe,
You can always read Gerald Luckhurst's book on The Gardens of Madeira. It arrived in the post last week and is very good.

Hi folks,, seems some of you beat North Norway by several inches, we have less than 10 cm of snow. I would not mind getting some more.
And while I am here: I have for several reasons not been much on line this last year. I got my copy of the seed list this last week, and at the back of the envelope someone had written : Missing you.. very nice! whoever wrote it; Thank you
It brought me back to the forum.

Welcome back Magnar. We haven't had snow this deep in November for many years!

some nice shots, folks! i'm surprised to see so many of you looking like us this time of year
nice of rogan to give us a counterweight
our weather turned (from above freezing days, though we'd had nights to -16 at least, and had had snow a couple of times long since) in the middle of the month, and we got as low as -38C a couple of nights, at least, and some days below -20C..
now we've been up to more normal temps-- this week, days from 0 to -9 (average is -3)and nights from -12 to -23..
the snow (somewhere in the range of 20cm over a number of days) likely is not going anywhere, but at least the ice is gone from the highways (it rained a day or so just before the temps dropped!)..
here are a few shots over some recent days, on the road and around the house...
1-5 on the road to work (1 is off the gravel road i live on)
6-9around the acreage
10 just a part of the driveway we have to shovel, and many paths besides..

Snow report from Lincolnshire; only about 6 inches of snow here. Jackie has just ventured out with camera and kids in tow (school closed), sun shining now - its really glorious, although blooming cold.

Snow shows off the bones of a garden so very well. We seldom get a good show. However, when we do, it is a great time for a garden study. Thanks for sharing!
