Thanks for your weather reports, it was great to here from you and imagine what it was like over at yours. Of course, some of you posted as well, so I could see as well as imagine! And of course, I could hear all my US/Canadian colleagues snickering at how so little snow is seen as so importatnt over here ;)<BR/><BR/>Maggi - decorating is usually the last thing on my mind, just a little bit behind housework! PAD as a snowman has made me giggle a lot!<BR/><BR/>Jodi - I'm surprised we made the news in Canada - the impact on London is what did it presumably?<BR/><BR/>Maxine - welcome! And how opportune for you to stop by on a day I mention Wellow and MSN :)<BR/><BR/>Victoria - I see what you mean :) I'd been recommended Elizabeth Blackadder when I started to draw/paint flowers for my gardening course. Strangely cats didn't feature then, even though I see now she often puts the two together. I do like her collage-like paintings.VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-72125584024369324732009-02-03T23:44:00.000+00:002009-02-03T23:44:00.000+00:00This is absolutely nothing to do with snow: the pi...This is absolutely nothing to do with snow: the picture of Jess looking out of the window has just made me realise why your cats look sort of familiar.<BR/>Have you ever seen the work of the Scottish artist Elizabeth Blackadder?

It's so refreshing to read about snow from someone who hasn't been looking at it for the past month. I've seen so much snow, I'm starting to be able to put it into different categories (i.e., good packing snow, heart-attack snow, fakey looking Hollywood-esque snow, sparkly snow, pellety snow). Spring is just around the corner, right?Mr. McGregor's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911409327006498766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-13007965902099067472009-02-03T04:25:00.000+00:002009-02-03T04:25:00.000+00:00We might get a flake around midnight.

Set off for work this morning but even the main roads were bad and I, along with everyone else, had to turn round before Broughton Hill. I was 5 miles from home and it took 3/4 hour to go there and back. PAD did his 3 mile drive to work and rang 10 mins or so ago to say that he is walking home. I anticipate the arrival of a snowman in about an hour. It rather nice to have an unexpected day at home, but as you can tell I am thinking of things to do other than the decorating!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-85785633093416079192009-02-02T09:58:00.000+00:002009-02-02T09:58:00.000+00:00A few flakes here and there yesterday, but then mu...A few flakes here and there yesterday, but then much to my surprise there was a couple of inches on the ground this morning.
