Sun and snow!
Yesterday I was going to tell you how the torts raced to go through the door to go outside for the first time. It was so sunny and they headed straight to the warm area and spent time under the plastic roofing. Bertie decided he was staying out last night and found a great sheltered spot. However, with the predicted temperatures I took him back to his indoor house.
Now today - currently it is snowing heavily. Very chilly with the wind chill factor. I need to get my thermals out again! What crazy weather.

Sleet and snow here but the clouds are looking full of heavier snow to fall this evening and through the night.
I have behaved and not whipped myself up into a storm this time to create so many blizzards, so with no Storm Emma in play I think it'll all be back to normal again by Tuesday and we can look forward to spring arriving in full swing. I reckon if March has a sting in its tail, and a snowy sting at that - we're in for a good summer. Well, positive thoughts and all that!!

Have woken up to a good covering of snow which is strange as when everyone else had it so bad the other week we hardly had any! It can go away as soon as it comes as far as I'm concerned!

It started snowing heavily around 9pm last night and we woke to a decent amount. It's now snowing very heavily and forecast to all day. We had our fun in it at the start of the month. Now we're just watching it out the window and staying indoors. Very pretty to look at but I hope it thaws quickly tomorrow so people can commute safely.
