Cold but very dramatic!

Thank you for my lovely Teddy bear x

Not something I've seen before.

You deserve better :-)

So beautiful - I love wintry skies.

It is pretty but I still wish it would go away. Unlike you, I haven't got my chick safely under my roof yet.

I have the Debfather and Bradshaw 2 (my bro) in transit and the Valleygirl up in Edinburgh with cancelled buses - I hope they all (and huskyteer of course) make it through safely. It's snowing quite hard again here but the roads are clearish.

The loveliest snow photo that I've seen since it started!!

Thank you! I was surprised it came out.

I'd say pretty impressive. Whoppers!

Lovely! We've got them too - eighteen inches yesterday, but only about six inches today

Yes - and they are astonishingly sharp - presumably because it's such a drip that runs down the ice and freezes on the end to make the point? Yesterday's have melted. I keep hearing a thump, as icicles or lups of snow fall off the roof.
Yippee! Council workmen have cleared some snow, and here's the gas lorry! i wonder if the binmen will come? The bins have been out since last Friday

Our binmen managed to collect this week, thank goodness.
Happy Christmas.

Thank you - the Wine Club made it through the snow this afternoon, so I have wine with my beans and rice and tinned vegetables - and now hope to get to a shop on the 29th for some post-Christmas treats

They look better hanging from thatch! we've got them too but they're not as huge as last year (hope they don't get that way). Hope your chick gets home, and both mine - near horizontal sleet outside right now.

Yes, they hang down from the 'eyebrows' and frame all the upstairs windows.

Thank you and same for yours. Main roads are fine but I just had to go out (not shopping thank goodness) and the car-park was like an ice rink. Very quiet everywhere in spite of what we are hearing about the whole country being on the move.

Cooking calls, *sigh*.

It certainly makes for a lovely photo. I hope that you're able to remain warmly indoors.

[identity profile] callmemadam.livejournal.com 2010-12-23 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you, I intend to from now on.

Lovely photo, but I so dislike this weather! Brave you going out in it! Miranda is now down from London - hope Alice will soon be home safe too! Let me know if/when you're free for a visit after Christmas. xx

Oh I wish it would go away! Yes, thanks, huskyteer has arrived and H is coming tomorrow.
Enjoy your day.

Beautiful!

Merry Christmas!

Hopefully the weather will let up soon.

I love this! I just today took a photo of icicles.

Thank you! They've all gone now and the snow and ice have been replaced by fog.
