Having written about it recently, about how snow was forecast, it actually arrived!

Yesterday was a bit of a disappointment after the weather programs telling us it would be here, I got up half expecting a covering of snow but nothing. So it was just another day really.

This morning however, I pulled back the curtains and nearly blinded myself, the white was that encompassing. As you can see from these pictures I took of the (once in a lifetime) event, the first one is out the back window looking at Louth church, quite a shot:

And out the front window, which was more amusing as when I took the picture, not two seconds after I heard the camera ‘click’ (cameraphone), a huge lump of snow fell from the roof into the front yard:

Out the back window again, you can just see next door neighbour’s clothes on the washing line that they’d left out, now covered in a thick dollop of snow. Serves ‘em right:

And the last one, a picture of my back patio, fully laden with snow, and showing it falling down just as it got thicker too. Love the whirlybird covered in the stuff, great pic:

So I know that it’s not up to Mac and Corey‘s standards (those Canadians will tell you less than two feet of snow is just a “light covering”) but for here, it’s a bloody miracle! Fitting really, considering it’s Easter …
