Thought I'd set up a thread for peoples pictures of the snow today, mine aren't great but I was surprised to see the snow this morning (after the numerous let downs this year). Look forward to seeing some more great shots.

Good pics SS

You might need to cover the Japanese Maple (I use fleece) to protect those buds from the frosts we are expecting in the next 3 or 4 nights.

Thanks for the comments all, some really nice pics of the snow by everyone today. I might take your advice there DL, just need to find some fleece big enough now B) . I think I have some left over in the garage from when I covered my Dixonia (you can see it in one of the pics).

Just returned from a journey out that was quite eventful! The Dotto train was stuck and completely halted progress on Eastbourne seafront and the road up to the downs was impassible so we never got up there in the end! A motorhome was also sliding back towards us at an alarming rate and that's when self-preservation took over from grip and we turned around.

Here's a few of many:

Need a sit down?

A long way home

Confused?

The wildlife around here is hardened to this sort of weather

Someone wanted to play....

And thank goodness we had a rescue dog to dig us out!

Ice cream anyone?

The point where we had turned around

The western lawns, someone has been busy!

Fancy a top-deck ride to Beachy Head?

Fantastic, at last the South East has a 'weather event', nice collection of topical shots chionomaniac that sum up todays event.

That snowman is quite a beast - did Daddy or Mummy have a helping hand? :)

Not this mummy or daddy. We watched our neighbour build it then stuck our own kids next to it!

Today, Coast, certainly made up for those mild winters.
