cold dry and very windy , hung loads of towels out in a gesture of faith , but they have blown quite well and only needed 20 minutes in the dryer

Well dears, there was snow here in Cornwall this morning. There were cars going past my window with oh, lots, must have been... well.... half an inch at least on each car.

I'm guessing higher ground up on the moors would have had more, but we're not talking feet of snow here. BUT as usual, Cornwall does not cope with white stuff. T's day care bus was an hour and a half late picking him up, because the traffic on a hill outside Lostwithiel was at a standstill. One of the staff had to travel in from Bodmin to Lanlivery, normally about 20 minutes, and it took her over an hour "because it was muddy."

The snow laid in the higher fields all day, and by the time I was shutting my ducks away the sky was dropping large wet frozen nuggets on me. Couldn't make up its mind whether to rain, hail or snow I guess.

Hope everyone is following TA's example and tucking themselves up nice and cosy.
