....and still more snow!

This morning no further snow had arrived. A telephone call confirmed that school was open for business as usual. Shortly after arriving in school it started snowing. And it snowed, and snowed, and snowed. By mid morning we were getting worried and by shortly after 11.00 local radio was publishing school closures, parents were arriving to remove their children and a decision was made to close school. It then took the rest of the afternoon to get rid of over 400 children in what was a military style and very slick operation - closing a school mid-day and something akin to stopping an artic. lorry using your fingernails!

Of course the minute the decision was made and the first hundred or so children left, the snow stopped and even the sun begun to appear. By the time I got home at around 4.30 I was greeted by this...

....and this......

...and this....

....and this....

....and even Simba got in on the act!

No more snow is planned for tomorrow although temperatures are set to drop to around -7 degrees! The return of snow is however forecast for Sunday night into Monday - watch this space..
