Slush

I was going to title today's blog entry 'Snow', but having had a brief walk through it, 'Slush' it is.  The snow started to fall at 8.15 this morning and quickly started to cover the ground with a duvet of white.  Just as quickly, it became obvious that it was very wet snow and wasn't going to last.  Still, it did look good for a while.

Snow is always very picturesque when it's fresh and still white.  But, when it becomes slushy, wet and difficult to walk in, it starts to be a bit of a drag.

Footprints from our door towards the path down to Malcolm's mum's house show how wet it all is.  What a shame!  But it's still Winter, so plenty of time for more snow yet.
