Well the first snow of the winter arrived this morning  :-\ , way too early considering we can still have snow in April  ::)

Yeh, the hills around were white this morning, though it was falling as sleet at the actual house. Definitely could do without it. I would like a hard frost though, the ground being not-mud-soup would be nice!

 :o  Frost a couple of mornings here but mostly very wet. Ground saturated and little streams running through our paddocks.

When I worked in Jedburgh in the 60's we got snow quite often at the start of November.

 :o just talking about your area at the weekend and wondering how soon the snow arrived before us. Didn't think it would appear quite so suddenly. Unfortunately it's the only reason we have been put off buying a house up there   :cold:  and digging our way out to work  :D

We had our first snow on Sunday  :thumbsup: . Only on the hills round us and it was gone by Monday, but I was still very surprised when I looked out the window.

Wow, there was nothing like that for us around Allendale way and we're not that far away... I'd better get more organised with the preparations - snow shovel, winter tyres, etc!

we have given up on snow shovels now, bought a snow blower so we are ready this year  ::)
