I love the snow. I love the cold clear cleanliness of it. We don't seem to be having as much of it up here in NE Scotland but we're also used to it, everyone has winter wheels and life just carries on as normal. The horses livig behind my place love to roll in it.

Love the snow too (provided it's gone by Mon so I can get to work!).


Love the beauty of it, the lack of mud and much of what has already been said.


Also knid of really like seeing all the tracks of animals I never see but all of a sudden their presence is preserved in the snow.

I'm the same, and I also love the quietness of a fall of snow because it somehow seems to muffle noise. Bliss.


We've hardly got any  >:(

Keeps the cars off the road and we have our farm more-or-less to ourselves  :thumbsup: ;D
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing

I am now locking this thread as a mark of respect for those who have lost their lives due to the freezing weather.
