Shropshire- 6 inches of snow!

16 comments


We’ve had 6 inches of snow within 24 hours! Absolutely magical. The school were I work had to close early as buses would not be able to get down smaller roads and lanes. Have attached some photo’s. First snow my cats had ever seen!! They kept on sinking through the snow, it was that deep! Lol

Oh dear that's terrible ! I bet your cats are not very pleased with it. I hope it melts away soon for you.

Poor cats, I remember when my Mother had miniature Daschunds and how much trouble they had in the snow. We also had a white cat and that was the only time her hunting skills were put to good use, other times she stood out like a sore thumb!
It looks magical as you say, and covers a multitude of sins (in my garden), all the things I should have done but didn't get round to. I don't really want it here, grumpy chickens, peacocks and Boris wading through snow - no thanks!
the beautiful blue sky certainly sets the scene off and the metal supports just look great.

It does look lovely but I'll admire from my armchair, its s'posed to arrive here tomorrow, should be fun when it does as Harriet the little Westie has obviously never experienced it, she is going on the Santa Fun Run at Burghley Park with my daughter, raising a bit for local charity, both have Santa outfits to wear, lol, if the snow does arrive the photo's will look smashing....

How absolutely beautiful! I am very envious! Its baltic here and very windy, but no snow at all.

we had a walk yesterday and it was bitterly cold and only a light slushy snow fall today. I love a good covering but want it to disappear fast.

Lovely to look at from the warmth of a centrally heated house! How long did the cats play out in the snow? Our cat absolutely loved it a few years ago ... :o)

We have had lots more on Sunday and it got so deep cats could not walk through it as they sank deep down! They don’t stay out for long as I can imagine their paws get cold. They warm up infront of log burner and then they're out again.

Has the snow gone now? I'm so pleased that we haven't had any ...

No still got snow a week on, even though it’s raining it’s cold enough for large patches still trying to hang on! Black ice also prevalent....

Sorry to read that your snow was hanging around ... I only like to see it on Christmas cards!

Glad to report that last patches of snow have finally gone! Spent 3 hours working hard in the garden yesterday, tidying up, cutting back perennials and raking up leaves. Filled two green bins and must say was knackered after that!! Even managed to sit in my summerhouse with a cuppa of tea to admire the garden in its winter glory.

Very late I must admit but I've only just seen this blog of yours!

On December 10th a couple of inches of snow fell here as well, in Cambridgeshire, though in our case it was gone the next day!

I was glad as I don't particularly like it, at least not being out in it for more than an hour at the very most as I suffer from a condition called 'Reynard's Syndrome' which causes the periferical blood vessels to close down when air temperature falls below 15C making hands & feet very cold & painful as well as the nose & ears.

That’s ok Balcony. The latest extreme weather we’ve had is the strong winds which play havoc with old trees and have damaged my summerhouse!

Oh no! I hope it's nothing too serious.
